DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_TEST_ONLY flag is checked later, after this, so if this 
fails , test only will return EINVAL also.

Sending 0 events is no problem at all on it's own but if user provides 
DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_EVENT in args
then when it becomes a problem , doesn't it mean he expects to receive 
at least one event ?
