modesetting: Check whether RandR was initialized before calling rrGetScrPriv

Calling rrGetScrPriv when RandR isn't initialized causes an assertion
failure that aborts the server:

 Xorg: ../include/privates.h:121: dixGetPrivateAddr: Assertion `key->initialized' failed.

 Thread 1 "Xorg" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

This can happen, for example, if the server is configured with Xinerama
and there is more than one X screen:

 Section "ServerLayout"
   Identifier "crash"
   Screen 0 "modesetting"
   Screen 1 "dummy" RightOf "modesetting"
   Option "Xinerama"
 EndSection

 Section "Device"
   Identifier "modesetting"
   Driver "modesetting"
 EndSection

 Section "Screen"
   Identifier "modesetting"
   Device "modesetting"
 EndSection

 Section "Device"
   Identifier "dummy"
   Driver "dummy"
 EndSection

 Section "Screen"
   Identifier "dummy"
   Device "dummy"
 EndSection

The problem does not reproduce if there is only one X screen because of
this code in xf86RandR12Init:

 #ifdef PANORAMIX
     /* XXX disable RandR when using Xinerama */
     if (!noPanoramiXExtension) {
         if (xf86NumScreens == 1)
             noPanoramiXExtension = TRUE;
         else
             return TRUE;
     }
 #endif

Fix the problem by checking dixPrivateKeyRegistered(rrPrivKey) before
calling rrGetScrPriv. This is similar to what the xf86-video-amdgpu
driver does:
