    workspace: Force creating new layout when there's no allocation yet
    
    Commit ba23279f1fd3820fb81570b1b4a03048e5a7a3bc was aimed at fixing a
    bug where the layout is frozen so early that we don't have an existing
    one to re-use, because no allocation cycle happened yet. It tried to fix
    that by forcing the creation of a layout when needsLayout === true,
    this turned out to be a bit too much, as it also forced creating a new
    layout when the layout was frozen after closing a window (which would
    set needsLayout to true).
    
    To fix this regression and still avoid reintroducing the bug the
    previous commit fixed, tighten the check a bit and only force creating
    the new layout when there's no allocation yet. This makes freezing the
    layout after closing a window work again.
