The problem isn't eglCreateImage, it's when the DRI driver internally
imports a prime fd in dri3_get_pixmap_buffer()
in src/loader/loader_dri3_helper.c. We want the DRI screen passed to
loader_dri3_create_image (line 1150) to come from the current context, not
the drawable.

We don't have a way to get the DRI screen associated with the current
context (__DRIcontext is opaque here), but my suggestion above is that we
make draw->vtable->get_dri_context() return it along with the __DRIcontext
or perhaps make a new vfunc to get the __DRIscreen for the current context.
For platform_x11_dri3.c, egl_dri3_get_dri_context() can get the screen for
the current context by following
dri2_egl_display(dri2_ctx->base.Resource.Display)->dri_screen.
