updateLayerProperties method Null safety

void updateLayerProperties(
  1. RenderObject child
)

Update the composited layer of child without repainting its children.

The render object must be attached to a PipelineOwner, must have a composited layer, and must be in need of a composited layer update but not in need of painting. The render object's layer is re-used, and none of its children are repaint or their layers updated.
