With B2G/SkiaGL, saw Red ball flicker in mozillaball app

https://github.com/mozilla/openwebapps/tree/develop/examples/mozillaball
OS: Linux → Gonk (Firefox OS)
Hardware: x86_64 → ARM
Based on bug 843599, it still had flicker by adding fence/waitsync implementation.
Mozillaball app used arc/fill to draw the red ball, as shown below.

context.clearRect(0,0,320,440);                                                               
context.beginPath();
context.fillStyle="#0000ff";                                                                  
// Draws a circle of radius 20 at the coordinates 100,100 on the canvas                             
context.arc(x,y,20,0,Math.PI*2,true);
context.closePath();
context.fill();

And this problem could be solved by calling DrawTargetSkia::Flush() at the end of draw cmds.

Checking the timing of Flush() calls.
Attached patch workaround patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
It seems there are 2 problems:

1. SkCanvas do not flushed correctly
2. Rendered data not read out correctly

Apply this workaround patch then the ball runs without problem.
I am curious why the gfxSurface contain part render result now. That maybe the key for various similar problem.

For this case, you can call mGLContext->PublishFrame before RequestFrame rather than mark out code to fix it, too.

Better fix to the bug.

As SkiaGL may queue the draw call until flush, we must flush it before trying to access buffer data.

Attached patch Patch v1 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
SkiaGL default to store draw operations in a queue until flush.
Flush the queue right before present the frame.

You probably don't need to check explicitly against nullptr, but this looks good.
