the issue was that the hwcomposer was relying on HWC_GEOMETRY_CHANGED
flag to do some initialization of its internal data structures
(including some pthread mutexes). Mir was not setting this flag leaving
those mutexes uninitialized. When hwc tried to lock the uninitialized
mutexes, we would segfault in hybris at that point.
Fixed by
1) setting HWC_GEOMETRY_CHANGED during posting
2) submitting a skipped gles layer to force posting everytime.
