cppuhelper: fix use-after-free race in OWeakConnectionPoint

OWeakObject::m_pWeakConnectionPoint is returned from
OWeakObject::queryAdapter(), and stored in
OWeakRefListener::m_xWeakConnectionPoint.

This is cleared in OWeakRefListener::dispose(), called from
OWeakConnectionPoint::dispose(), called from
OWeakObject::disposeWeakConnectionPoint(), but it can happen that
another thread is in WeakReferenceHelper::get() and has copied
m_xWeakConnectionPoint onto the stack before the OWeakObject is
released and deleted, then calls OWeakConnectionPoint::queryAdapted()
after it is released, accessing the dead m_pObject.
