[PATCH] radeon: avoid copying over itself ddx fb

From: Jerome Glisse <jglisse at redhat.com>

In some rare case it seems that the old fb could already be the
ddx fb. As copying from the same bo will trigger a ttm deadlck
detection which will result in infinite kernel/userspace loop.
Avoid doing any copy as anyway it's useless.
