[PATCH] um: virtio: free vu_dev only with the contained struct device

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg at intel.com>

Since struct device is refcounted, we shouldn't free the vu_dev
immediately when it's removed from the platform device, but only
when the references actually all go away. Move the freeing to
the release to accomplish that.

Fixes: 5d38f324993f ("um: drivers: Add virtio vhost-user driver")
