[v3] No need to check for NULL, FreeCursor deals with that and this
matches dix.

XFixes: Fix cursor reference when calling, XFixesGetCursorImage or
XFixesGetCursorImageAndName.

These two calls save a pointer to the current cursor during
DisplayCursor(), but the cursor can be destroyed leaving a dangling
reference. This patch wraps this using the cursor reference counters to
ensure the cursor isn't deleted during it's use.

This bug was fixed in RedHat's bugzilla database 18 months ago.
