MoltenVK doesn't reset instance pointer when CreateInstance() failed,
then DestroyInstance() leads to segmentation fault. MoltenVK's bug
has been fixed by [1], which doesn't available on homebrew yet.
Regardless MoltenVK's bug, we shouldn't call DestroyInstance()
in the case of CreateInstance() failed, so reset instance making
sense.
