[PATCH v2 weston] input: Don't test keyboard/pointer/touch pointers

Is there a reason it does not just clear the pointer when 
keyboard_device_count is changed to zero? That would seem like a smaller 
patch.

Assuming there is a good reason there seem to be some errors. At first I 
thought there were just redundant checks for seat being null, which I 
think should be removed, but I then found that most of them were actual 
errors. For instance right at the end:

That will crash if the pointer count is zero. The correct if statement, 
which also removes the redundant check for seat being null, is (I think):

	if (!pointer || pointer->button_count != 1
	    || !pointer->focus
	    || pointer->focus->surface != window->surface)
		return;

I then started looking backwards through the code and spotted these:

setup_output_seat_constraint which is passing &seat->base to 
weston_seat_get_pointer, followed by a test of (seat && pointer). That 
will not work if seat is null, so either you must test that first or the 
test for seat is irrelevant and should be removed.

force_kill_binding() appears to have deleted the setting of the 
focus_surface variable.

Several other functions look like they should take a 
pointer/keyboard/touch as an argument instead of a seat, as the only 
thing they do is extract the pointer and then act like it is never going 
to be null. Examples are click_to_activate_binding, rotate_binding, 
surface_rotate.
