Associated with chromium patch:
http://codereview.chromium.org/7327030/

Fixed bug that caused canvas updates to trigger two compositor paints. LayerRendererChromium::updateLayers was triggering a scheduleComposite because the paint aggregator in RenderWidget was emptied beforehand. This change (in combination with the chromium-side patch) delays the paint aggregator emptying until after updateLayers and before paint. 

This patch must land before the chromium patch above.

popPendingUpdate() is not a very enlightening API name.  I've looked at the chromium side and I'm still not completely sure what it is intended to mean.

Wait, it's not valid to call LayerRendererChromium::updateLayers() at this point.  You want to just call WebViewImpl's updateLayers(), which does a different thing, and remove that call from LayerRendererChromium.  Leave doComposite() alone.

Also, this bug needs to be retitled.

Closer!  Please also rename this bug, preferably to describe the problem this patch fixes (double frames on canvas).

Just delete this (and the corresponding entry in CCLayerTreeHost), there aren't any callers of this any more.

You can delete this section completely, animateAndLayout() takes care of this now (since it calls WebViewImpl::layout())

Cool.  One more nit to consider before landing:  Could you add a TRACE_EVENT() around syncCompositingLayers()?
