manager: stop transient greeter session when done with it

If we're running in legacy display mode, we currently can
end up with a leaked greeter following user switching.
That can happen if a user with an already running session
is reauthenticated (so the login screen won't morph into the
use session).

This commit makes sure we kill the greeter session off in that
case.
