[PATCH] xace: Invalid reference to out-of-scope data.

[Chris Wilson]

The callback data passed by reference to the hook was allocated on stack
within the scope of the case statement. The compiler is free to reuse
any of that stack space whilst making the function call so we may end up
passing garbage into the callback.

v2: Drop the unrelated hunk that snuck in when ammending the commit
message.
