[PATCH] Fix segfault when -extension XKEYBOARD is passed on the command line

Users should be told they can't disable XKB or XInput via error messages,
not core dumps.

Reported by T`2 on #xorg irc

This one should be a candidate for 1.7.1 as well, to reduce the number
of bug reports generated by core dumps.
