[PATCH] dmx: Fix null pointer dereference

[Tobias Stoeckmann]

A null pointer dereference can occur in dmxSync, because TimerForce
does not handle a null pointer.

dmxSyncTimer is set to NULL a few lines above on a certain condition,
which happened on my machine. The explicit NULL check allowed me to
start Xdmx again without a segmentation fault.
