[PATCH v2] client: Fix handling display->reader_count if poll fails

[Neil Roberts]

In wl_display_dispatch_queue, if poll fails then it would previously
return immediately and leak a reference in display->reader_count. Then
if the application ignores the error and tries to read again it will
block forever. This can happen for example if the poll fails with
EINTR which the application might consider to be a recoverable error.
This patch makes it cancel the read so the reader_count will be
decremented when poll fails.

Ok, here is a second version of the patch which calls
wl_display_cancel_read as you suggested. Thanks for the review.
