It fixes issue with page_flip ioctl not being able to acquire vblank counter.
This problem isn't related with pageflip, it just causes from
7ffd7a68511c710b84db3548a1997fd2625f580a commit (drm: Always reject
drm_vblank_get() after drm_vblank_off()).

We need to use drm_vblank_on() as a counterpart to drm_vblank_off()
after the commit .

This patch should break also other drivers, it seems at least following
drms could be affected:
armada, sti, tegra.

Indeed we (tegra) have just been hit by this. The problem seems to come from the fact that we have been using drm_vblank_pre_modeset, drm_vblank_post_modeset and drm_vblank_off conjointly. All these functions depend on the value of vblank->inmodeset, and 7ffd7a68511 increases the vblank reference counter only in drm_vblank_off, which can result in the acquired reference never being released.

The following seems to fix this for Tegra, by stopping using drm_vblank_pre/post_modeset and relying on drm_vblank_off/on instead:

Thierry, does this look ok to you?

But there might be another issue, which is that calls to drm_vblank_get() will return -EINVAL if invoked between drm_blank_off and drm_blank_on. Is this really the desired behavior? Can it at least happen? If so, how are drivers supposed to react to this situation?
