Subject: [PATCH xserver] xkb: reset the radio_groups pointer to NULL after
 freeing it

Unlike other elements of the keymap, this pointer was freed but not
reset. On a subsequent XkbGetKbdByName request, the server may access
already freed memory.

ZDI-CAN-19530

This vulnerability was discovered by:
Jan-Niklas Sohn working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative
