[platforms/drm] show cursor only when it is enabled In previous code we used to update/show cursor even when the pointer device was present, e.g mobile device. Guard it behind the cursor enabled check.

I have this behavior with 5.27.1.
Note that the cursor disappears after touching the screen again.
Can confirm, the cursor still wrongly shows after screen rotation
