From: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>

In the xnlx_dp_init() function we create the s->dpcd and
s->edid objects with qdev_new(); then in xlnx_dp_realize()
we realize the dpcd with qdev_realize() and the edid with
qdev_realize_and_unref().

This is inconsistent, and both ways result in a memory
leak for the instance_init -> deinit lifecycle tested
by device-introspect-test:

Indirect leak of 1968 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

Instead, explicitly object_unref() after we have added the objects as
child properties of the device.  This means they will automatically
be freed when this device is deinited.  When we do this,
qdev_realize() is the correct way to realize them in
xlnx_dp_realize().
