Bug Description

I have upstreamed a GNOME/Wayland desktop freeze fix in:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1209 (master)
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1215 (3.36 branch)
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1216 (3.34 branch)

[ Impact ]

I diagnosed the freeze on Mutter 3.34 Ubuntu 19.10 flavour first, with DisplayLink hardware. Any DRM driver that may temporarily fail drmModePageFlip() calls might trigger this.

[ Test case ]

I triggered the freeze particularly by trying to make a DisplayLink output the only active output via GNOME display settings. Other triggers are possible.

This fix may help with https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1853357 but I don't know for sure.

[ Regression potential ]

Higher page flips could happen using native backend (wayland)

Tested on Dell XPS13 (Intel GPU) and Precision M3800 (Intel/Nvidia-nouveau), with evdi-backed displays mostly focusing on enabling/disabling screens, both by system settings as well as ACPI events (lid closing/opening).
Looks fine so far.
