Tomáš Trnka 323869f329 Fix drain_console unregistration ...

Bug introduced by 9dca441670
xfree86: add a hook to replace the new console handler.

console_handler was not being set, making the server eat up CPU spinning
in WaitForSomething selecting consoleFd over and over again, every time
trying to unregister drain_console without success due to
console_handler being NULL.

Let's just fix the unregistration in xf86SetConsoleHandler() and use that.

But wait, there could be a catch: If some driver replaced the handler using
xf86SetConsoleHandler(), the unregistration in xf86CloseConsole will unregister
that one. I don't understand Xorg well enough to know whether this poses a
problem (could mess up driver deinit somehow or something like that). As it is,
xf86SetConsoleHandler() doesn't offer any way to prevent this (i.e. check which
handler is currently registered).

I had been using it for two days on my machine that previously hit 100% CPU
several times a day. That has now gone away without any new problems appearing.
