[PATCH weston 02/10] compositor-wayland: avoid recursive dispatch with wl_outputs

[Pekka Paalanen]

From: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen at collabora.co.uk>

Calling wl_display_roundtrip() from within a Wayland event handler means
we will re-enter event dispatch, that is, it will lead to recursive
dispatch. Even if libwayland-client was safe, this would lead to
unexpected code paths: the first event handler function has not returned
when other event handler functions may get called. In this particular
case it maybe didn't hurt, but it's still a fragile pattern to use.

Replace the wl_display_roundtrip() with a manual sync callback to do the
work.

This does not break the wayland-backend initialization sequence, because
sprawl_across_outputs was set only after the roundtrip to ensure
wl_registry globals have been received so the code would not have been
hit anyway, and weston_backend_init() also has a second roundtrip that
ensures the per wl_output events have been received before continuing.

For wayland-backend output hotplug the change is insignificant because
it will only delay the output creation a bit, and the parent outputs are
not processed anywhere in between.
