[PATCH 1/4] present: restore root window pixmap when aborting a flip

If a 2D application is started on top of a fullscreen 3D application, which
is flipping, then we need to stop flipping and restore the root window to
using the screen pixmap. Normally this would be done as part of an unflip.
However, in the case that there is a pending flip there is no mechanism to
abort so the unflip is deferred until the pending flip completes. This
provides a window of opportunity for the 2D application to draw to the wrong
pixmap.

This problem is avoided by fixing up the root window pixmap immediately but
deferring the unflip as usual.
