Apparently pre-nv50 pageflip events happen before the actual vblank
period. Therefore that functionality got semi-disabled in

    drm/nouveau/kms/nv04-nv40: fix pageflip events via special case.

Unfortunately that hack got uprooted in

    drm/irq: Make pipe unsigned and name consistent

Triggering a warning when trying to sample the vblank timestamp for a
non-existing pipe. There's a few ways to fix this:

- Open-code the old behaviour, which just enshrines this slight
  breakage of the userspace ABI.

- Revert Mario's commit and again inflict broken timestamps, again not
  pretty.

- Fix this for real by delaying the pageflip TS until the next vblank
  interrupt, thereby making it accurate.

This patch implements the third option. Since having a page flip
interrupt that happens when the pageflip gets armed and not when it
completes in the next vblank seems to be fairly common (older i915 hw
works very similarly) create a new helper to arm vblank events for
such drivers.

v2 (Mario Kleiner):
- Fix function prototypes in drmP.h
- Add missing vblank_put() for pageflip completion without
  pageflip event.
- Initialize sequence number for queued pageflip event to avoid
  trouble in drm_handle_vblank_events().
- Remove dead code and spelling fix.

v3 (Mario Kleiner):
- Add a signed-off-by and cc stable tag per Ilja's advice.

v4 (Thierry Reding):
- Fix kerneldoc typo, discovered by Michel Dänzer
- Rearrange tags and changelog
