memory: avoid unnecessary object_ref/unref
For the common case of DMA into non-hotplugged RAM, it is unnecessary but expensive to do object_ref/unref. Add back an owner field to MemoryRegion, so that these memory regions can skip the reference counting. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
