Makes sense.

I suspect this code runs relatively late, so if userspace calls
DRM_IOCTL_MODE_PAGE_FLIP shortly before the start of vertical blank, it
could result in the flip being unnecessarily delayed by one frame. I
added drm_crtc_funcs::page_flip_target to address this.

Anyway, this is okay for now.
