Olivier Fourdan f420c54a99 Fix an abort if the device speed is NaN
When using libinput with xf86-input-libinput, the device speed is
represented as a float passed via X properties.

If a buggy client gives a broken value, the conversions that occur
can cause the value of speed to be NaN (not a number), aka infinity.

In C, any comparison with NaN always gives false, whatever the value.

So that test in libinput_device_config_accel_set_speed():

   (speed < 1.0 || speed > 1.0)

will necessarily return FALSE, defeating the test of range.

However, since since any comparison with NaN is false, the
opposite assert() in accelerator_set_speed():

   (speed >= 1.0 && speed <= 1.0)

will be false as well, thus triggering the abort() and the crash of
the entire X server along with it.

The solution is to use the same construct in both routines, so that
it fails gracefully in libinput_device_config_accel_set_speed().

libinput
========

libinput is a library that handles input devices for display servers and other
applications that need to directly deal with input devices.

It provides device detection, device handling, input device event processing
and abstraction so minimize the amount of custom input code the user of
libinput need to provide the common set of functionality that users expect.

Input event processing includes scaling touch coordinates, generating
pointer events from touchpads, pointer acceleration, etc.

libinput originates from weston, the Wayland reference compositor.

The source code of libinput can be found at:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/libinput
