Otherwise if a kms driver calls into drm_vblank_off() more than once
before calling drm_vblank_on() again, the redundant calls to
vblank_disable_and_save() will call drm_update_vblank_count()
while hw vblank counters and vblank timestamping are in a undefined
state during modesets, dpms off etc.

At least with the legacy drm helpers it is not unusual to
get multiple calls to drm_vblank_off and drm_vblank_on, e.g.,
half a dozen calls to drm_vblank_off and two calls to drm_vblank_on
were observed on radeon-kms during dpms-off -> dpms-on transition.

Fixes large jumps of the software maintained vblank counter due to
the hardware vblank counter resetting to zero during dpms off or
modeset, e.g., if radeon-kms is modified to use drm_vblank_off/on
instead of drm_vblank_pre/post_modeset().

This fixes a regression caused by the changes made to
drm_update_vblank_count() in Linux 4.4.

Since atomic drivers shouldn't suck so badly at this, maybe

	if (DRIVER_ATOMIC || !vblank->inmodeset)

instead? That way the flexibility would be constraint to old drivers that
need it because legacy crtc helpers suck. With that change:

Ok, thanks, will change that.
