Perhaps this could be passed m_mainFrame->view(). Lots of the other
ScrollingCoordinator fns take a FrameView. It could then call UCL.

Can you please clarify - are you suggesting that I put the deferred
updateCompositingLayers() call inside of the scrolling coordinator instead?

Yeah. It's a minor point, but I thought it would be nice if Page could continue
to not know about the compositor.
