In kvm_destroy_vm() we call kvm_io_bus_destroy() pretty early,
especially before calling kvm_arch_destroy_vm(). To avoid
unregistering devices from the already destroyed bus, let's mark
the bus with NULL to let other users know it has been destroyed
already.
This avoids a crash on a VM shutdown with the VGIC using the
kvm_io_bus later (the unregistering is in there to be able to roll
back a faulting init).

this smells a bit like papering over an ordering issue with the
teardown, is there no other way to fix it?
