vfio_realize() has the following flow:
1. vfio_bars_prepare() -- sets VFIOBAR->size.
2. msix_early_setup().
3. vfio_bars_register() -- allocates VFIOBAR->mr.

After vfio_bars_prepare() is called msix_early_setup() can fail. If it
does fail, vfio_bars_register() is never called and VFIOBAR->mr is not
allocated.

In this case, vfio_bars_finalize() is called as part of the error flow
to free the bars' resources. However, vfio_bars_finalize() calls
object_unparent() for VFIOBAR->mr unconditionally and thus we get a null
pointer dereference.

Fix it by checking VFIOBAR->mr in vfio_bars_finalize().

What about:

             if (bar->mr) {
                 assert(bar->size);
                 object_unparent(OBJECT(bar->mr));
                 g_free(bar->mr);
                 bar->mr = NULL;
             }

?

Nice touch, it's indeed more accurate.

Will change and post v2.

Thanks!
