Ouch. The intent was for that to be another call for
drm_crtc_vblank_count().

The code in discussion is completely based on the drm_wait_one_vblank()
code: call drm_vblank_count(), then call it again until it returns
something different. The difference is that we actually call
drm_wait_one_vblank() in the middle of the process, and that
scheduled_vblank may also be updated in the meantime, so so may have to
call drm_wait_one_vblank() again.
