vduse: Tie vduse mgmtdev and its device

vduse devices are not backed by any real devices such as PCI. Hence it
doesn't have any parent device linked to it.

Kernel driver model in [1] suggests to avoid an empty device
release callback.

Hence tie the mgmtdevice object's life cycle to an allocate dummy struct
device instead of static one.
