I think the segfault can be attributed to:

fa53a0e53efd ("memory: drop find_ram_block()")

Prior to that vmstate_unregister_ram() called
memory_region_get_ram_addr() which would have resulted in
RAM_ADDR_INVALID.  This would have been passed to
qemu_ram_unset_idstr() which would have used find_ram_block() to lookup
the RAMBlock, which would be NULL for the invalid address, safely
avoiding any sort of segfault.

TL;DR, I'll add the above commit with a Fixes: tag for stable and
downstream releases, looks good otherwise.  Thanks,

Alex
