[PATCH] xfree86/common: Removed a configScreen leak when conf_screen is NULL

configScreen used a dynamically allocated buffer for XF86ConfScreenRec
when conf_screen argument was NULL. This pointer was never stored
anywhere, nor was it released, so this patch makes the function use
automatically allocated storage in that situation.
