From: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com>

commit 1e419ee68fa5 ("chardev: generate an internal id when none
given") changed the reference ownership semantics of
qemu_chardev_new(NULL, ...): now all chardevs created using
qemu_chardev_new() are added to the /chardevs QOM container, and
the caller does not own a reference to the newly created object.

However, the code at char_file_test_internal() had not been
updated and was calling object_unref() on a chardev object it
didn't own.  This makes the chardev be destroyed, but leaves a
dangling pointer in the /chardev container children list, and
seems to be the cause of the following char_serial_test() crash:

  Unexpected error in object_property_try_add() at ../qom/object.c:1220: \
      attempt to add duplicate property 'serial-id' to object (type 'container')
  ERROR test-char - too few tests run (expected 38, got 9)

Update the code to use object_unparent() at the end of
char_file_test_internal(), to make sure the chardev will be
correctly removed from the QOM tree.
