Posts/Pages List: search results are not cleared when "X" is tapped after rotating the device

Expected behavior

Clicking on the Clear Button (X) during a configuration change (like a rotation) should clear the search query and the displayed results. Also, the overall screen state should not become inconsistent with what the user expects when rotating the screen.

Actual behavior

When searching for Site Pages or Blog Posts using a specific search query (say tags) everything works as expected. All pages or posts that match that search query are shown, as expected. Then, when clicking the Clear Button (X), the search query and results gets cleared. However, if the screen gets rotated first (a configuration change) and then the Clear Button (X) gets clicked then, the search query gets cleared but not the search results. Afterwards, rotating back to the original orientation, the state of the screen gets rurther messed up.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Open My Site
2. Choose a site
3. Navigate to Site Pages or Blog Posts
4. Search for something that will produce a set of results, for example search for tags
5. Click the Close Button (X) on the top right
6. Observe that the search query and results gets cleared
7. Search again for tags
8. This time rotate the screen before clicking on the `Close Button (X)
9. Observer that the search query and results are visible (as expected)
10. Now click the Close Button (X) once more
11. Observer that the search query gets cleared but not the search results
12. Rotate the screen back to the initial orientation
13. Observer that the search query reappears and clicking the Close Button (X) produces the same set of problems

Tested on [device], Android [version], WPAndroid [version]

Tested on Pixel 2 XL, Android 10, WPAndroid 15.4-rc-1

No file, test, or code entry point is named in the issue. Reproduce the search-and-clear flow in Site Pages or Blog Posts on Pixel 2 XL or an equivalent Android setup, including rotations; done means clearing the query also clears results and the screen state remains consistent after rotating back.
