ivshmem: fix memory backend leak
object_new() returns a new backend with refcount == 1 and then later object_property_add_child() increases refcount to 2 So when ivshmem is destroyed, the backend it has created isn't destroyed along with it as children cleanup will bring backend's refcount only to 1, which leaks backend including resources it is using. Drop the original reference from object_new() once backend is attached to its parent.
