Due to our lack of two-step watermark programming, our driver has
historically pretended that the cursor plane is always on for the
purpose of watermark calculations; this helps avoid serious flickering
when the cursor turns off/on (e.g., when the user moves the mouse
pointer to a different screen).  That workaround was accidentally
dropped as we started working toward atomic watermark updates.  Since we
still aren't quite there yet with two-stage updates, we need to
resurrect the workaround and treat the cursor as always active.

v2: Tweak cursor width calculations slightly to more closely match the
    logic we used before the atomic overhaul began.  (Ville)

This patch is already merged to dinq, but did not cherry-pick cleanly to -fixes
due to dependence on a separate s/bpp/cpp/ standardization patch.  Here's a
version of the patch that should apply to -fixes cleanly.

Pushed to drm-intel-fixes, thanks for the patch.
