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 after checking only VFIOBAR->size, and
thus we get a null pointer dereference.

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

  Changes from v1:
  * Assert VFIOBAR->size and set VFIOBAR->mr to NULL to make the code
    more accurate. (Philippe)
  * Small reword in the last paragraph of the commit message.
