hw/nvme: take a reference on the subsystem on vf realization

Make sure we grab a reference on the subsystem when a VF is realized.
Otherwise, the subsytem will be unrealized automatically when the VFs
are unregistered and unreffed.

This fixes a latent bug but was not exposed until commit 08f632848008
("pcie: Release references of virtual functions"). This was then fixed
(or rather, hidden) by commit c613ad25125b ("pcie_sriov: Do not manually
unrealize"), but that was then reverted (due to other issues) in commit
b0fdaee5d1ed, exposing the bug yet again.
