As commented in drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks(), userspace relies
on cursor ioctls being unsynced. Converting the rockchip driver to
atomic has significantly impacted cursor performance by making every
cursor update wait for vblank.
By skipping the vblank sync when the framebuffer has not changed (as is
done in drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks()) we can avoid this for the
common case of moving the cursor and only need to delay the cursor ioctl
when the cursor icon changes.
I originally inserted a check on legacy_cursor_update as well, but that
caused a storm of iommu page faults. I didn't investigate the cause of
those since this change gives enough of a performance improvement for my
use case.
This is RFC because of that and because the framebuffer_changed()
function is copied from drm_atomic_helper.c as a quick way to test the
result.
