decodebin3: When reconfiguring a slot make sure that the ghostpad is unlinked

This was only taken care of previously if there was a decoder before.
However if previously a decoder was not needed then the ghostpad
would've been linked directly to the slot's srcpad.

Reconfiguring the slot requires this to be undone so that linking can
happen normally.
