[Qemu-arm] [PATCH v6 1/6] qdev: get_child_bus(): Use QOM lookup if available

[Peter Crosthwaite]

qbus_realize() adds busses as a QOM child of the device in addition to
adding it to the qdev bus list. Change get_child_bus() to use the QOM
child if it is available. This takes priority over the bus-list, but
the child object is checked for type correctness.

This prepares support for aliasing of buses. The use case is SoCs,
where a SoC container needs to present buses to the board level, but
the buses are implemented by controller IP we already model as self
contained qbus-containing devices.

Currently qbus_realize() ignores errors from object_property_add_child,
so it is hard to guarantee that the QOM linkage is reliable. If it were
the case that that object_property_add_child was supposed to be error
asserting, we could remove the old bus-list strcmp iterator altogether.
