[Why] We previously allowed framebuffer swaps as async updates for cursor planes but had to disable them due to a bug in DRM with async update handling and incorrect ref counting. The check to block framebuffer swaps has been added to DRM for a while now, so this check is redundant. The real fix that allows this to properly in DRM has also finally been merged and is getting backported into stable branches, so dropping this now seems to be the right time to do so. [How] Drop the redundant check for old_fb != new_fb. With the proper fix in DRM, this should also fix some cursor stuttering issues with xf86-video-amdgpu since it double buffers the cursor. IGT tests that swap framebuffers (-varying-size for example) should also pass again.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
