Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915/skl: Fix redundant cursor update, fix cursor underruns

At long last, the time has finally come for Skylake users to plug their
external displays back in.

During intel_atomic_commit() on Skylake, we've actually been arming the
registers to update the cursor information twice instead of just once.
Once in i9xx_update_cursor(), and once in skl_wm_flush_pipe(). This
isn't actually necessary, and removing the later update in
skl_wm_flush_pipe() has completely stopped the underruns on this T460p
from occurring when moving the mouse cursor from one monitor to another.
