wayland: Fix null pointer deference in meta_get_first_subsurface_node.

Browse Source 
In fcfe90aa, multiple for loops were replaced with
META_WAYLAND_SURFACE_FOREACH_SUBSURFACE.

However, this substitution was not side-effect free, and introduced a
null-pointer dereference risk as shown in the example below:

Old:

    for (n = g_node_first_child (surface->subsurface_branch_node);
         n;
         n = g_node_next_sibling (n))
      {
        if (G_NODE_IS_LEAF (n))
          continue;

        meta_wayland_surface_update_outputs_recursively (n->data);
      }

n is checked for NULL during each loop in the condition expression.
Therefore, when `G_NODE_IS_LEAF (n)` is called, `n` is guaranteed not to
be NULL. Note also that g_node_first_child is also NULL-safe since it
performs a NULL check internally.

New:

    META_WAYLAND_SURFACE_FOREACH_SUBSURFACE (surface, subsurface_surface)
      meta_wayland_surface_update_outputs_recursively (subsurface_surface);
    =
    for (GNode *G_PASTE(__n, __LINE__) = meta_get_first_subsurface_node ((surface)); \
     (subsurface = (G_PASTE (__n, __LINE__) ? G_PASTE (__n, __LINE__)->data : NULL)); \
     G_PASTE (__n, __LINE__) = meta_get_next_subsurface_sibling (G_PASTE (__n, __LINE__)))

In the new logic `subsurface` is still checked for NULL in the loop
condition. However, in the new loop init:

    ...
    meta_get_first_subsurface_node (MetaWaylandSurface *surface)
    ...

    n = g_node_first_child (surface->subsurface_branch_node);
    if (!G_NODE_IS_LEAF (n))
    ...

The above implementation performs a `G_NODE_IS_LEAF` call, which
performs a dereference on `n`, without first checking for NULLs.

This NULL dereference triggers the following gnome-shell crash:

    Core was generated by `/usr/bin/gnome-shell'.
    Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
