Subject: [PATCH 5/5] local-display-factory: Don't crash if Xorg and Wayland

 are both unavailable

At the moment if Wayland doesn't work, the login screen will fall back

to Xorg, and if Xorg doesn't work the login screen will fall back to

Wayland.

But if the fall back choice is disabled explicitly, GDM will just crash.

This commit fixes the crash.

Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/739
