Review request for Plasma and Marco Martin.


Repository: plasma-workspace


Description
-------

This avoids the crash situation where something have created the activity consumer earlier and currentActivityChanged signal is emitted before view is created.

```
#0  PlasmaQuick::View::setContainment (this=0x0, cont=0x16a9fc0) at /home/bshah/aur/plasma-framework-git/src/plasma-framework/src/plasmaquick/view.cpp:243

```

I hit this crash when creating recent media backend for pmc. First backendsmodel is initalized which in turn loads the recentmedia backend and hence creates the activity consumer first. Afterwards when signal is connected it calls currentActivityChanged slot and fails to set containment on null view.
