qmp_device_add() and hmp_device_add() drain pending RCU callbacks after a failed device_add, since some bus teardown (e.g. bus_remove_child()) is deferred to call_rcu(). -device on the command line reaches the same qdev_device_add_from_qdict() with errp pointing at error_fatal, whose ERRP_GUARD() exits before control returns to the caller, so the caller's drain_call_rcu() never runs. Move the drain into qdev_device_add_from_qdict()'s own err_del_dev path so it always runs, and drop the now-redundant calls in qmp_device_add() and hmp_device_add().
