<AWT Dev> [8u/9] Review request: JDK-8028486 [TEST_BUG] [macosx] java/awt/Window/WindowsLeak/WindowsLeak.java fails

[Sergey Bylokhov]

Hi, Anton.
It seems that the surface data will be leaked anyway? Assigned the 
peer/surfaceData to null in CGLayer can causes an NPE in all its usage, 
because there is no any synchronization which will prevent the usage of 
CGLayer after disposing.

Unrelated to the fix, but it seems we should call flush() on surface 
when the layer is disposed, at least I do not understand where we flush 
the native ogl data for the latest surface data.
