[webkit-efl] Fixing --no-tiled-backing-store build

Hi,

Thanks for you comments guys. I really appreciate that.

I'd like to point out that even if xserver doesn't have regression my fixes
still make sense as they  wrap code in #ifs depending on the features like
3D_GRAPHICS, ACCELERATED_COMPOSITING, etc. So, they have some value by
themselves, not just because they fix --no-tiled-backing-store build.

Considering Gyuyoung's comment in the bug about removing coorditaned
graphics I'm going to split my patch to several patches just to make them
accepted easier.

Sorry for the newby question. Any suggestions whom to ask for review? I'm
new to this project and  it's not clear for me what to do to make my
changes landed in the tree faster.

Thank you,
Ed
