Avoids a crash in xf86RotatePrepare -> DamageRegister during
CreateScreenResources if rotation or another transform is configured for
any connected RandR output in xorg.conf. The generic rotation/transform
code generally can't work without the root window currently.

Fixes: 094f42cdfe "xfree86/modes: Call xf86RotateRedisplay from

(cherry picked from commit 6a5e47c57d)
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
