qdev: fix use-after-free in the error path of qdev_init_nofail

From Markus:

Before:

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -display none -drive if=ide
    qemu-system-x86_64: Device needs media, but drive is empty
    qemu-system-x86_64: Initialization of device ide-hd failed
    [Exit 1 ]

After:

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -display none -drive if=ide
    qemu-system-x86_64: Device needs media, but drive is empty
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)
    [Exit 139 (SIGSEGV)]

This error always existed as qdev_init() frees the object.  But QOM
goes a bit further and purposefully sets the class pointer to NULL to
help find use-after-free.  It worked :-)
