[PATCH xserver] modesetting: only fall back to drmModeSetCursor() on -EINVAL

This change effectively reverts commit 074cf58. We were falling back from
drmModeSetCursor2() to drmModeSetCursor() whenever the first failed. This
fall-back only makes sense on pre-mid-2013 kernels which implemented the
cursor_set hook but not cursor_set2, and in this case the call to
drmModeSetCursor2() will always return -EINVAL. Specifically, a return
value of -ENXIO usually means that neither are supported.

1) Tested that hardware cursors still work with the patch applied.
2) Tested in gdb that the expected path is taken when drmModeSetCursor2()
returns -EINVAL.
