Issue description

Along with #6294 we discovered frame renderings on previous defined surfaces when changing the surface during playback. This happens on two of our test devices (Honor 10 and Huawei P20)

Reproduction steps

Just run the test application https://github.com/stetro/exoplayer-test on one of the devices (maybe its also happending on mate 10 pro). And press the switch button to switch surfaces during the playback. Activating the Surface workaround in MainActivity resolves the issue.
