I've not yet seen the commit which causes this problem, but I hope
that drm_wait_vblank() isn't affected by this.  In current mainline,
drm_vblank_get() is used inside drm_wait_vblank(), which is called as
a result of userspace calling DRM_IOCTL_WAIT_VBLANK.

So, what is the effect of this change on user applications making use
of the vblank wait ioctl - and is that change intended?
