When a VCPU gets connected to the XIVE interrupt controller, we add a
const link targetting the CPU object to the TCTX object. Similar links
are added to the ICP object when using the XICS interrupt controller.

As explained in <qom/object.h>:

 * The caller must ensure that @target stays alive as long as
 * this property exists.  In the case @target is a child of @obj,
 * this will be the case.  Otherwise, the caller is responsible for
 * taking a reference.

We're in the latter case for both XICS and XIVE. Add the missing
calls to object_ref() and object_unref().

This doesn't fix any known issue because the life cycle of the TCTX or
ICP happens to be shorter than the one of the CPU or XICS fabric, but
better safe than sorry.
