drm/i915: Keep physical cursors pinned while in use

The optimisation inherent in commit 6a2c4232ece1 ("drm/i915: Make the
physical object coherent with GTT") relies on that once we allocated a
cursor we would have coherent, zero overhead access to the scanout plane
holding the cursor. That is we could then do the very frequent cursor
updates X enjoys with no indirection or kernel involvement. However,
that all hinges on the GGTT mmap of the cursor being pinned and not
require refaulting on each access -- handling such a page fault likely
requires the busy GGTT to be rearranged causing a stall. A very simple
fix is then to handle the physical cursor exactly like other cursors and
keep its vma pinned while active.
