Olivier Fourdan c1ff84bef2 composite: Handle failure to redirect in compRedirectWindow()
The function compCheckRedirect() may fail if it cannot allocate the
backing pixmap.

In that case, compRedirectWindow() will return a BadAlloc error.

However that failure code path will shortcut the validation of the
window tree marked just before, which leaves the validate data partly
initialized.

That causes a use of uninitialized pointer later.

The fix is to not shortcut the call to compHandleMarkedWindows() even in
the case of compCheckRedirect() returning an error.
