Defensive changes to Mac RCTDisplayLink
Real-world data suggests crashes with this stack:
CVDisplayLink::start()
-[RCTDisplayLink updateJSDisplayLinkState] (RCTDisplayLink.m:157)
-[RCTDisplayLink registerModuleForFrameUpdates:withModuleData:]_block_invoke (RCTDisplayLink.m:67)
-[RCTTiming timerDidFire] (RCTTiming.mm:324)
-[_RCTTimingProxy timerDidFire] (RCTTiming.mm:93)
Some symbols are missing in this stack, presumably due to compiler optimizations.
-updateJSDisplayLinkState is calling CVDisplayLinkStart as a result of a
call to "_jsDisplayLink.paused = NO".
-registerModuleForFrameUpdates block is presumably getting called via pauseCallback,
likely via [RCTTiming startTimers], presumably owned by RCTCxxBridge.
The most likely immediate explanation for the crash is that we are calling
CVDisplayLinkStart with a zombie _displayLink pointer.
However there is a lot of indirection here as well as thread-hopping, and
unfortunately no clearly incorrect code that would explain such a zombie pointer.
Some defensive changes:
-explicitly remove the association to pauseCallback when underlying display link object is invalidated.
-remove a prior attempt at additional check in updateJSDisplayLinkState itself as it is not relevant.
-make sure we explicitly set _displayLink to NULL when we release it, such that there is one less failure point.
