[PATCH 1/5] xfree86: xv: fix double free in xf86XVFreeAdaptor

When xf86XVFreeAdaptor is called more than once in xf86XVInitAdaptors (it may,
but not often), the conditional being changed in this patch will always take
true path and will keep freeing pAdaptor->pAttributes, thus letting the system
error-prone.

This patch fix such problem checking for a pointer instead the number of
attributes. Such pointer will be deallocated when xf86XVFreeAdaptor is called
first and will not let the code re-run in the following calls. This is a bit
similar how the surroundings code is already doing.
