client: don't crash when booting a Xinerama setup

In a Xinerama setup, when X starts up and creates one of the
secondary screens, first a non-primary surface is created on the
secondary screen, and then the primary surface for this screen is
created.
This causes a crash when the guest uses Xinerama and the client
is attached to the VM before X starts (ie while the guest is
booting).
This happens because DisplayChannel::create_canvas (which is called
when creating a non-primary surface) assumes a screen has already been
set for the DisplayChannel while this only happens upon primary surface
creation. However, it uses the screen for non important stuff, so we
can test if screen() is non NULL before using it. This is what is done
in other parts of this file.

Fixes rhbz #732423
