UI state again.

Bug description:
[Impact]
* I day before the 17.10 release, we had to revert some commits in
GNOME Shell due to https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1723577
which was a release blocker (GNOME Shell not displaying anything on
multiple config).
* Pinging upstream, they debugged it and found the real issue in
mutter, and so fixed it, which will enable us to align again with
upstream's repo.
* This should mostly be a no visible-effect for previously impacted
users, but GNOME Shell shouldn't crash anymore in GDM (reverting then
to Xorg), triggering apport on logging, and the users can then use
Wayland instead of Xorg.
[Test Case]
* Install both mutter and gnome-shell to their latest version in -proposed
* Reboot
* Ensure you have an UI in GDM
* Log in into your session, check that you have an UI and everything is
showing up as expected
[Regression Potential]
* Impact is a regression in GNOME Shell (showing up your entire UI)
and not being able to log in. However, some of us (not impated by the
bug) are already running latest version and don't see any issue. I
have also asked 3 people being impacted by the bug and fixed by the
revert to test upstream commits (prepared a package for them in a
PPA), and they are running on it since yesterday, confirming Wayland
is available.
* The regressions are quite straightfoward to see: either you have an
UI in GDM or none.
