wayland/surface: Send buffer release events immediately

Just queuing the buffer release event is prone to starvation, so send
the release immediately. See
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2017-September/035147.html
for more detailed explanation.

++ should it go to the stable branch too? from the wayland-devel discussion it seems like a useful and low risk fix
Comment 3 Jonas Ådahl 2017-09-27 18:10:28 UTC 
We haven't branched yet have we? Either way, yes it should be pretty safe and I think this can even land on .24 as well.
