Passing a negative value in `needed` to the `XkbResizeKeyActions()`
function can create a `newActs` array of an unespected size.
Check the value and return if it is invalid.
This error has been found by a static analysis tool. This is the report:
Error: OVERRUN (CWE-119):

X Server
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.
