[RFC PATCH] linux-user: un-parent OBJECT(cpu) when closing thread

[Alex Bennée]

While forcing the CPU to unrealize by hand does trigger the clean-up
code we never fully free resources because refcount never reaches
zero. This is because QOM automatically added objects without an
explicit parent to /unattached/, incrementing the refcount.

Instead of manually triggering unrealization just unparent the object
and let the device machinery deal with that for us.
