[PATCH v2] Xi: don't crash when deleting invalid device properties.

Deleting a property that was not set on a device leads to a null-pointer
reference. The protocol allows deleting those properties - it has to be a
noop.

Reproducible:
xinput --set-prop "My device" --type=int --format=8 "my property" 1
xinput --delete-prop "My other device" "my property"
