[PATCH v5] drm: re-allow no-op changes on non-primary planes in async flips

Commit fd40a63c63a1 unintentionally disallowed no-op changes on non-primary
planes that the driver doesn't allow async flips on. This broke async flips
for compositors that disable the cursor plane in every async atomic commit.
To fix that, change drm_atomic_set_property to again only run atomic_async_check
if the plane would actually be changed by the atomic commit.

Fixes: fd40a63c63a1 ("drm/atomic: Let drivers decide which planes to async flip")
Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/4263
