[PATCH xserver] GLX: Fix a use after free error with the GLVND vendor handle.

Kyle Brenneman kbrenneman at nvidia.com

The GLVND layer will destroy all of the vendor handles at the end of each
server generation, but the GLX module then tries to re-use the same (now-freed)
handle in xorgGlxServerInit at the start of the next generation.

In xorgGlxCloseExtension, explicitly destroy the vendor handle and set it to
NULL so that the next call to xorgGlxServerInit will recreate it.
