[Spice-devel] [PATCH 04/19] qxl_driver: hide cursors on vt switch

This is not enough to prevent any qxl_destroy_pixmap call during vt
switch, but it prevents those triggered by CursorDisplayCursor.

Note: a matching xf86_show_cursors call doesn't hurt, but is not
required, so not adding it.

It is still possible to access freed memory by the following trigger:

This is fixed by a following patch to not free all_surfaces, instead
keeping pointers from it to the evacuated list.
