QOM .instance_init() handler can not fail. QDev DeviceRealize
can.

The device-introspect QTest enumerates all QDev types and
instantiate each one, without realizing it, then introspects
the instance properties.

When switching to a single QEMU binary, all QDev types are
available in the binary, but only a filtered subset might be
available, depending on which previous target the binary is
trying to mimic.

In particular with the Raspi machines, the TYPE_RASPI4B_MACHINE
and ARM_CPU_TYPE_NAME("cortex-a72") will be built in the
qemu-system-arm binary, while not available (because filtered
as being 64-bit, for the qemu-system-aarch64 binary).

However the TYPE_BCM2838 SoC is not filtered out, and will
abort when being initialized, because the "cortex-a72" CPU type
is filtered out, leading to device-introspect failure:

  1/1 qemu:qtest+qtest-arm / qtest-arm/device-introspect-test        ERROR      
      2.46s   killed by signal 6 SIGABRT
  stderr:
  unknown type 'cortex-a72-arm-cpu'
  Broken pipe
  ../../tests/qtest/libqtest.c:199: kill_qemu() tried to terminate QEMU process 
but encountered exit status 1 (expected 0)
  (test program exited with status code -6)
  TAP parsing error: Too few tests run (expected 167, got 5)

In order to avoid that, move the CPU *initialization* in the
SoC DeviceRealize handler, so the SoC initialization won't
fail, while realization still will.
