Avoid creating child windows twice when already visible

When a child window is made visible without its parent having been
created yet, we defer creating and making the child visible until
the parent is created.

But if a child window is explicitly created, we create the parent
first. And creating the parent will in turn apply visibility to
all children that had their visibility deferred. Which includes
creating the child.

This results in child -> parent -> child creation recursion,
which means that when we return from creating the parent window
we already have a platform window for our child, and should
bail out.

Pick-to: 6.6 6.5
