hw/misc/ivshmem: clear chardev handlers before freeing peers
ivshmem_exit() frees s->peers and s->msi_vectors but does not clear
the chardev handlers registered in ivshmem_common_realize(). Those
handlers are only removed later in object_finalize() via release_chr,
which runs after ivshmem_exit().
Between exit and finalize, ivshmem_read() can fire on pending chardev
data and process_msg_connect() dereferences the freed s->peers.
Additionally, s->peers, s->nb_peers, and s->msi_vectors are not
zeroed after free, leaving dangling pointers that make the UAF code
paths reachable.
Fix by clearing chardev handlers at the beginning of ivshmem_exit(),
before any resources they access are freed, and nullifying freed
pointers.
