Apart from simplifying the code, this should also prevent a condition
(which might only be possible with the following fix) reported in
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/issues/115#note_52467:
1. xwl_present_timer_callback indirectly calls xwl_present_reset_timer
-> xwl_present_free_timer
2. xwl_present_timer_callback then returns a non-0 value, so DoTimer
calls TimerSet with the old xwl_present_window->frame_timer pointer
which was freed in step 1 => use after free
Calling xwl_present_reset_timer explicitly passes NULL to TimerSet if
step 1 freed xwl_present_window->frame_timer, and it will allocate a new
one.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
