Olivier Fourdan 38060228c1 xwayland: Force disposal of windows buffers for root on destroy
With explicit buffer synchronization in use, the window buffers use a
file descriptor for event notification to keep the buffer alive for
synchronization purpose.

When running rootful, the root window (which is visible) is destroyed
directly from the resource manager on server reset, and the window
buffer's eventfd will trigger after the window is destroyed, leading to
a use after free and a crash of the xserver.

To avoid the issue, check whether the window being destroyed is the root
window in rootless mode, and make sure to force the disposal of the
window buffers in that case.

X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
