fix a possible deadlock when removing a layer and destroying a client

generally the last reference to a Layer is released in commitTransaction()
with mStateLock held. Layer itself only holds weak references to Client,
however, ~Layer() briefly promotes this weak reference -- during that time
the all other strong references to that Client go away, ~Layer is left with
the last one... then hell breaks loose as ~Client is called, which in turn
needs to acquire mStateLock.

We fix this by holding a temporary copy of the drawing state during
the transaction so that the side-effects of copying the current
state into the drawing state are seen only after mStateLock has
been released.
