File U_Xi-Do-not-try-to-swap-GenericEvent.patch of Package xorg-x11-server

Author: Michal Srb <msrb@suse.com>
Subject: Xi: Do not try to swap GenericEvent.
Git-commit: ba336b24052122b136486961c82deac76bbde455
Patch-mainline: Upstream
References: bnc#1035283 CVE-2017-10971

The SProcXSendExtensionEvent must not attempt to swap GenericEvent because
it is assuming that the event has fixed size and gives the swapping function
xEvent-sized buffer.

A GenericEvent would be later rejected by ProcXSendExtensionEvent anyway.
