This was the wrong fix to the problem, and it triggered a change in XKB
behavior: previously a button event would unlock a latched modifier, now it
doesn't anymore.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73155
Note that the new behavior is is strictly spec compliant but we've had the
other behavior for a long time so we shouldn't break it.
The bug this patch originally fixed was a null-pointer dereference when
releasing button events on server shutdown. This was addressed by the commit
below, so the need for this patch has gone away anyway.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
