drm/radeon: Prevent too early kms-pageflips triggered by vblank.
Since 3.16-rc1 we have this new failure: When the userspace XOrg ddx schedules vblank events to trigger deferred kms-pageflips, e.g., via the OML_sync_control extension call glXSwapBuffersMscOML(), or if a glXSwapBuffers() is called immediately after completion of a previous swapbuffers call, e.g., in a tight rendering loop with minimal rendering, it happens frequently that the pageflip ioctl() is executed within the same vblank in which a previous kms-pageflip completed, or - for deferred swaps - always one vblank earlier than requested by the client app. This causes premature pageflips and detection of failure by the ddx, e.g., XOrg log warnings like... "(WW) RADEON(1): radeon_dri2_flip_event_handler: Pageflip completion event has impossible msc 201025 < target_msc 201026" ... and error/invalid return values of glXWaitForSbcOML() and Intel_swap_events extension. Reason is the new way in which kms-pageflips are programmed since 3.16. This commit changes the time window in which the hw can execute pending programmed pageflips. Before, a pending flip would get executed anywhere within the vblank interval. Now a pending flip only gets executed at the leading edge of vblank (start of front porch), making sure that a invocation of the pageflip ioctl() within a given vblank interval will only lead to pageflip completion in the following vblank.
