Title:
Hardware acceleration broken for amdgpu/mesa in snap

Bug description:
Snap packages which use hardware accelerated graphics are broken after
the last routine system upgrade via apt. My system is using AMD Radeon
RX 5500 XT graphics card from ASUS, with stock amdgpu kernel drivers.
Two snap packages which are now unusable are Mozilla Firefox and
Chromium browsers. Both display animated speckled color garbage inside
their windows, overlayed with the correct image. Disabling hardware
acceleration in the settings for the snap version of Firefox fixed it.
Also, Firefox version installed from the original Mozilla tarball into
/opt/ works just fine with the acceleration enabled on the same
system, as well as glmark2 benchmark. Looks like the issue is only
affecting snap packages.
