call_rcu() callbacks may have potential memory leaks, but QEMU may
sometimes exit before draining the callbacks and leave the leaks
undetected by LeakSanitizer. For example, PCI devices register a
call_rcu() callback by calling address_space_destroy() and they will
not be freed until it gets drained. This hides memory leaks that
is going to happen when PCI devices loose references to the memory
allocations.

Call drain_call_rcu at exit to expose memory leaks by call_rcu()
callbacks deterministically.
