[PATCH] Revert "xkb: ProcesssPointerEvent must work on the VCP if it gets the VCP"

This was the wrong fix to the problem, and it triggered a change in XKB
behavior: previously a button event would unlock a latched modifier, now it
doesn't anymore.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73155

Note that the new behavior is is strictly spec compliant but we've had the
other behavior for a long time so we shouldn't break it.

The bug this patch originally fixed was a null-pointer dereference when
releasing button events on server shutdown. This was addressed by the commit
below, so the need for this patch has gone away anyway.
