Since commit 510ef98dca5, qdev_realize() aborts if bus-less device
is realized on a bus. While commits 514db7710b..007d1dbf72 took
care of converting all mainstream uses, QEMU forks weren't. These
forks are usually maintained by hobbyist with interest in following
mainstream development, but with limited time, so usually rebase
from time to time. To avoid them to spend time on debugging and
reading git-log history, display a kind hint about what is wrong.

Since v2:
- scratch __func__ (armbru)
- reword to justify this is not an impossible case (armbru)
