If qmp_netdev_del() is used the hub port will stay alive.

Should the peer deletion happen in qemu_del_net_client(), similar to the
existing NIC peer check?

  /* If there is a peer NIC, delete and cleanup client, but do not free. */
  if (nc->peer && nc->peer->info->type == NET_CLIENT_OPTIONS_KIND_NIC) {

This way the hub port is consistently deleted when its peer is deleted.
