drm/i915: Avoid stalling on pending flips for legacy cursor updates

commit 7ac7d19f808697abe6658c64c96868f728273f9c upstream.

The legacy cursor ioctl expects to be asynchronous with respect to other
screen updates, in particular page flips. As X updates the cursor from a
signal context, if the cursor blocks then it will stall both the input
and output chains causing bad stuttering and horrible UX.
