Remove wait for free buffer

Previously we would first attempt to use any buffer that was free,
meaning whichever buffer has already been displayed. This has poor
interactions when the operating system throttles the update rate of the
window, so if there isn't any free buffers available, just reuse the
oldest frame instead.
