The lifetime of the PCIBridgeWindows instance accessed via the windows pointer
in struct PCIBridge is managed separately from the PCIBridge itself.

Triggered by ./qemu-system-x86_64 -M x-remote -display none -monitor stdio
QEMU monitor: device_add cxl-downstream

In some error handling paths (such as the above due to attaching a cxl-downstream
port anything other than a cxl-upstream port) the g_free() of the PCIBridge
windows in pci_bridge_region_cleanup() is called before the final call of
flatview_uref() in address_space_set_flatview() ultimately from
drain_call_rcu()

At one stage this resulted in a crash, currently can still be observed using
valgrind which records a use after free.

When present, only one instance is allocated. pci_bridge_update_mappings()
can operate directly on an instance rather than creating a new one and
swapping it in.  Thus there appears to be no reason to not directly
couple the lifetimes of the two structures by embedding the PCIBridgeWindows
within the PCIBridge removing the need for the problematic separate free.

Patch is same as was posted deep in the discussion.
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20230403171232.000020bb@huawei.com/

Posted as an RFC as only lightly tested and I'm not sure what the reasoning
behind the separation of lifetimes originally was. As such perhaps this is
not the best route to fixing the issue.

This was intended to be [RFC] for reasons given below.
+ I failed to CC Thomas who reported the issue.  Not my finest hour.

Left over garbage from a previous attempt to fix.  Good spot.
I'll clean that out and resend shortly.
