ViewGroup.setLayoutTransition() has logic to cancel a previously-running
transition and remove the ViewGroup's listener from that transition. However,
it is possible for the transition to be set to null on the ViewGroup on the
cancel() call, making the next call to remove the listener crash with an NPE.
The fix is to use a temporary variable to hold the old reference and
not depend on the class instance variable remaining valid/non-null across
the call to cancel().
