gnutls_ext_register causing memory corruption

Does this patch work?

I haven't tested it, but it seems gnutls_global_init ->
gnutls_global_deinit -> gnutls_global_init would crash like the crash in
the bug report.  GnuTLS 2.6.x had a memory leak and didn't release this
memory, so you wouldn't notice.
