[RFC PATCH xserver] xwayland: avoid race condition on new keymap

When the Wayland compositor notifies of a new keymap, for the first X11
client using the keyboard, the last slave keyboard used might still not
be set (i.e. “lastSlave” is still NULL).

As a result, the new keymap is not applied, and the first X11 window
will have the wrong keymap set initially.

Apply the new keymap to the master keyboard as long as there's one.

 “RFC” because that fixes the issue but there might be better ways to
 avoid the problem?
