qdev: Convert bus-less devices to qdev_realize() with Coccinelle

All remaining conversions to qdev_realize() are for bus-less devices.
Coccinelle script:

    // only correct for bus-less @dev!

Note that Coccinelle chokes on ARMSSE typedef vs. macro in
hw/arm/armsse.c.  Worked around by temporarily renaming the macro for
the spatch run.
