Revert "compositor-drm: disable hardware cursors"
This reverts commit 6858383d51b12632481370fdc7d886a1e6bb4ebd.
The main reason for the original patch was a regression on the Intel
drivers causing compositor framerate to drop to half during cursor
updates or motion. The Intel problem was fixed in
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/2e7f43c41c042d6fed4d67aceeaae32d8f102e98
The fix is included in Linux 4.1-rc6 and 4.0.5.
The comment in the original patch is still true, but arguably the
possible minor glitches with cursor updates are less bad than not using
cursor planes at all.
