sna: Only flush GPU bo for a damage event

Based on xf86-video-ati

commit 9a1afbf61fbb2827c86bd86d295fa0848980d60b

    Use EventCallback to avoid flushing every time in the FlushCallback

reports seeing an improvement in reducing flushes at the expense of
checking every event for a DamageNotifyEvent. Since we also mix
rendering with SHM buffers, we have a more diverse set of conditions
under which to flush - but maybe we will see enough of a win for DRI to
merit. So far seeing improvement of ~20% for series of small operations
under the compositor without seeing any regressions, should benefit
composited desktop users. The biggest danger here is missed flushes.
