[PATCH xserver] xfree86: Immediately handle failure to set HW cursor

There is currently no reliable way to report failure to set a HW
cursor. Still such failures can happen if e.g. the MODE_CURSOR DRM
ioctl fails (which currently happens at least with modesetting on Tegra
for format incompatibility reasons).

As failures are currently handled by setting the HW cursor size to
(0,0), the fallback to SW cursor will not happen until the next time the
cursor changes and xf86CursorSetCursor() is called. In the meantime, the
cursor will be invisible to the user.

This patch addresses this by making the _xf86CrtcFuncs::set_cursor and
_xf86CursorInfoRec::ShowCursor hooks return a boolean. This allows to
propagate errors up to xf86CursorSetCursor(), which makes it fall back
to using the SW cursor immediately.
