[PATCH] present: fix freed pointer access

Looking at the code I think it would be better to not use an else, but put
the present_vblank_notify call before the if (vblank->abort_flip) line.
Even if the flip was aborted, the client should receive a complete event.
At least that's what we do in case of screen flips.
