Virtio wants to release used indices after the corresponding
virtio device has been unregistered. However, virtio does not
hold an extra reference, giving up its last reference with
device_unregister(), making accessing dev->index afterwards
invalid.

I actually saw problems when testing my (not-yet-merged)
virtio-ccw code:

- device_add virtio-net,id=xxx
-> creates device virtio<n> with n>0

- device_del xxx
-> deletes virtio<n>, but calls ida_simple_remove with an
   index of 0

- device_add virtio-net,id=xxx
-> tries to add virtio0, which is still in use...

So let's save the index we want to release before calling
device_unregister().
