qdev_unplug() bails out with an assertion if the user tries to device_del
a hot-plugged device that does not have a hotplug controller. Unfortunately,
our devices are all marked with hotpluggable = true by default (see the
device_class_init() function in qdev.c), so it currently can happen that
the user runs into this situation and QEMU gets terminated unexpectedly:
$ qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt -nographic -nodefaults -monitor stdio -S
QEMU 2.10.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) device_add aux-to-i2c-bridge,id=x
(qemu) device_del x
**
ERROR:qdev-monitor.c:872:qdev_unplug: assertion failed: (hotplug_ctrl)
Aborted (core dumped)
Hotplugging devices without a hotplug controller does not make much sense,
so we should disallow this during the device_add process already!
