[PATCH 5/6] present: Do not free screen_priv->flip_pending until it is finished

If we close the Window prior to completing all the flips, we free the
vblank pointer but leave screen_priv->flip_pending dangling. This leads
to a host of invalid reads/writes as it is accessed from many locations,
e.g.:
