[PATCH] dix: block signals when closing all devices

[Peter Hutterer]

When closing down all devices, we manually unset master for all attached
devices, but the device's sprite info still points to the master's sprite
info. This leaves us a window where the master is freed already but the
device isn't yet. A signal during that window causes dereference of the
already freed spriteInfo in mieqEnqueue's EnqueueScreen macro.

Simply block signals when removing all devices. It's not like we're really
worrying about high-responsive input at this stage.

The more correct approach would be to loop through inputInfo.devices twice,
removing all slaves first and then the masters. But really, if you're
expecting input events to be delivered while we're shutting down all devices
you're going to be disappointed anyway.
