hw/pci: use-after-free in pci_nic_init_nofail when nic device fails to initialize

object_property_set_bool(OBJECT(dev), true, "realized", &err) in
pci_nic_init_nofail may release the object if device fails to
initialize which leads to use-after-free in error handling block.
qdev_init_nofail does the same thing while holding the reference.
