drm/doc: Document legacy_cursor_update better

It's the horror and shouldn't be used. Realized we're not clear on
this in a discussion with Rob about what msm is doing to better
support async commits.

v2: Refine existing todo item to include this (Thomas)

One issue with the helpers is that they require that drivers handle completion
events for atomic commits correctly. But fixing these bugs is good anyway.
Somewhat related is the legacy_cursor_update hack, which should be replaced with
the new atomic_async_check/commit functionality in the helpers in drivers that
still look at that flag.
