winspool.drv: Clear last error when creating mutex

WINSPOOL_LoadSystemPrinters creates a unique mutex and then checks if
GetLastError is ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS.  Running 1.9.23 with staging or
unpatched, and current -HEAD, I'm seeing a race where sometimes a stale error
is left and it returns ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS due to another component.  This
causes printing to always fail on my machine, since CUPS_LoadPrinters is never
called and therefore no printers exist.

This one-line patch has allowed printing to work on my system and still guards
against multiple initialisations.
