I think the patch is correct, but now we're having a bit a inconsistency,
since all other functions where the same applies still use _irqsave. I
looked through the file and I think drm_vblank_get, drm_crtc_vblank_reset,
drm_crtc_vblank_on and drm_legacy_vblank_post_modeset,
drm_queue_vblank_event and drm_crtc_queue_sequence_ioctl are all candiates
for the same cleanup.

Maybe follow up patches for less confusion?
