[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 1/2] i965/gs: Properly skip GS binding table upload when no GS active.

Previously, in brw_gs_upload_binding_table(), we checked whether
brw->gs.prog_data was NULL in order to determine whether a geometry
shader was active.  This didn't work: brw->gs.prog_data starts off as
NULL, but it is set to non-NULL when a geometry shader program is
built, and then never set to NULL again.  As a result, if we called
brw_gs_upload_binding_table() while there was no geometry shader
active, but a geometry shader had previously been active, it would
refer to a stale (and possibly freed) prog_data structure.

This patch fixes the problem by modifying
brw_gs_upload_binding_table() to use the proper technique to determine
whether a geometry shader is active: by checking whether
brw->geometry_program is NULL.

I suspect this may address the crash reported in comment 2 of bug
71870.
