DeviceState.id is a pointer to a string that is stored in the QemuOpts
object DeviceState.opts and freed together with it. We want to create
devices without going through QemuOpts in the future, so make this a
separately allocated string.

Interesting that in hw/xen/xen-legacy-backend.c g_strdup_printf-allocated id is passed to qdev_set_id prior this patch. So, the patch seems to fix that small leak. Worth to mention?

In hw/pci/pci_bridge.c

we do

    br->bus_name = dev->qdev.id

It seems bad, as we now stole dynamic pointer, that may be freed later.

Ok, I can mention it explicitly.

If it's bad now, it was as bad before because previously it was just a
pointer stolen from the QemuOpts that is freed in the same function as
dev->id after this patch.

I think the code is correct (it's just another field of the same device,
the real bus name is just a copy of it, and the bus can't outlive the
device that owns it anyway), but it might be bad style.
