Subject: [PATCH xserver] dix: when disabling a master, float disabled slaved
 devices too

Disabling a master device floats all slave devices but we didn't do this
to already-disabled slave devices. As a result those devices kept their
reference to the master device resulting in access to already freed
memory if the master device was removed before the corresponding slave
device.

And to match this behavior, also forcibly reset that pointer during
CloseDownDevices().
