[Bug 1761016] [NEW] cherry-pick https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/224684/ to fix image slideshows in KDE Plasma

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

KDE Plasma is affected by a Qt bug that causes image slideshows to leak
memory, eventually exhausting all available memory and crashing the
system: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368838

This principally affects people who use the popular slideshow wallpaper
feature. Thankfully, there's a Qt patch to fix it the issue:
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/224684/

It's slated to go into Qt 5.11. We should strongly consider cherry-
picking it into 5.9.x to get this important fix into our users' hands as
soon as possible.
