memory: add getter for owner
Whenever memory regions are accessed outside the BQL, they need to be preserved against hot-unplug. MemoryRegions actually do not have their own reference count; they piggyback on a QOM object, their "owner". The owner is set at creation time, and there is a function to retrieve the owner.
