[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 1/2] loader_dri3: Wait for pending swaps to complete before drawable_fini.

[Roman Gilg]

Without this patch plasmashell on Xserver/Mesa master freezes on me
when opening the launcher menu (Kickoff). With the patch haven't
experienced freezes yet.

Haven't tested the Steam client yet. Might be a different problem though.
