IIRC what I wanted was to just re-enable the interrupt for the offdelay==0
case. I think it just ended up as a mess due to changing some of the
semantics of offdelay<0 vs. offdelay==0 vs. disable_immediate during the 
review of the series. So yeah, given how drm_vblank_put() works now, I'd
just make this check for offdelay==0.
