The backtrace below triggers during spice_channel_display_dispose (frame
#31), we start disposing the display channel, the session gets destroyed,
but the VirtViewerDisplaySpice are still alive through that
SpiceChannel:virt-viewer-displays array. and then some VirtViewerDisplaySpice
code runs and tries to use the VirtViewerSession that was just disposed.
After spice_channel_display_dispose() finishes running, the gobject data
'virt-viewer-displays' will get freed, and the VirtViewerDisplay will be
disposed of (that is, if we did not crash when trying to use the session).

By setting virt-viewer-displays to NULL in this patch, we make sure the
VirtViewerDisplay are freed at the same time as the VirtViewerSessionSpice.
It makes to do it here as the 'virt-viewer-displays' data is associated
with the display channel in VirtViewerSessionSpice.
