Cycles uses pixel buffers to update the display. Due to making things
work the vulkan backend downloaded the GPU allocated pixel buffer to the
CPU, Copied it to a GPU allocated staging buffer and update the display
texture using the staging buffer. Needless to say that a (CPU->)GPU->CPU->GPU
roundtrip is a bottleneck.
This PR fixes this by allowing the pixel buffer to act as a staging
buffer as well.
Viewport and final image rendering performance is now also similar.
