Fix for DisplayLink GPU USB2.0 device X server screen update

Within X server on top of DisplayLink GPU USB2.0 device,
screen content is not refreshed i.e. updated,
which is the most basic functionality of the screen.

This partially (udl_handle_damage()) reverts commit:

- e375882406d0cc24030746638592004755ed4ae0
  "drm/udl: Use drm_fb_helper deferred_io support"

Thanks Noralf for the tip.
