object_new(FOO) returns an object with ref_cnt == 1 and following object_property_set_bool(cpuobj, true, "realized", NULL) set parent of cpuobj to '/machine/unattached' which makes ref_cnt == 2.
Since machvirt_init() doesn't take ownership of cpuobj returned by object_new() it should explicitly drop reference to cpuobj when dangling pointer is about to go out of scope like it's done pc_new_cpu() to avoid object leak.
