unlockDialog: Defend against absence of blur effect

Simon McVittie requested to merge wip/smcv/issue3071 into master

From: Zephaniah E. Loss-Cutler-Hull

widget.get_effect(...) can return null while locking the screen, resulting in a TypeError. In this situation the screen ends up black with a cursor but never going to sleep, and moving the mouse brings the old screen contents up but does not allow unlocking.

unlockDialog.js assumes that widget.get_effect will return non-null, but other places such as getWindowDimmer in windowManager.js go out of their way to be more careful.

[smcv: Add commit message, remove hard tabs, add missing semicolon]
