dix: Guard against non-existing PtrFeedbackPtr
Trying to change the pointer control settings on a device without PtrFeedbackPtr would be a bug and a crash in the Xserver. Guard against that case by returning early with a BadImplementation error, that might kill the X11 client but the Xserver would survive.
