vhost-vdpa: do not cleanup the vdpa/vhost-net structures if peer nic is present

When a peer nic is still attached to the vdpa backend, it is too early to free
up the vhost-net and vdpa structures. If these structures are freed here, then
QEMU crashes when the guest is being shut down. The following call chain
would result in an assertion failure since the pointer returned from
vhost_vdpa_get_vhost_net() would be NULL:

do_vm_stop() -> vm_state_notify() -> virtio_set_status() ->
virtio_net_vhost_status() -> get_vhost_net().

Therefore, we defer freeing up the structures until at guest shutdown
time when qemu_cleanup() calls net_cleanup() which then calls
qemu_del_net_client() which would eventually call vhost_vdpa_cleanup()
again to free up the structures. This time, the loop in net_cleanup()
ensures that vhost_vdpa_cleanup() will be called one last time when
all the peer nics are detached and freed.

All unit tests pass with this change.
