The instance_init function of the "exynos4210.gic" device creates a
new "arm_gic" device and immediately realizes it with qdev_init_nofail().
This will leave a lot of object in the QOM tree during introspection of
the "exynos4210.gic" device, e.g. reproducible by starting QEMU like this:
qemu-system-aarch64 -M none -nodefaults -nographic -monitor stdio
And then by running "info qom-tree" at the HMP monitor, followed by
"device_add exynos4210.gic,help" and finally checking "info qom-tree"
again.
Also note that qdev_init_nofail() can exit QEMU in case of errors - and
this must never happen during an instance_init function, otherwise QEMU
could terminate unexpectedly during introspection of a device.
Since most of the code that follows the qdev_init_nofail() depends on
the realized "gicbusdev", the easiest solution to the problem is to
turn the whole instance_init function into a realize function instead.
