gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once

The new typeof() macro version of g_clear_pointer() was evaluating its
pointer argument more than once, meaning any side effects would be
evaluated multiple times.

The existing (other) macro version of g_clear_pointer() was evaluating
its argument exactly once. This mismatch could have confused people or
lead to subtle bugs.
