[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] intel: don't crash when freeing an uninitialized screen

When intel_scrn_create creates a screen, it sets scrn->driverPrivate to
(void *)(match_data | 1).  Normally, this is read by I830PreInit and then
replaced with a pointer to the intel_screen_private structure.  However, it's
possible for the server to delete the screen before initializing it, which leads
to a crash in I830FreeScreen when it tries to interpret the unaligned match_data
pointer as a pointer to a intel_screen_private.

Fix this by checking the low bit of the pointer and skipping the teardown code
if it's set.
