drm_vblank_offdelay can have three different types of values:

< 0 is to be always treated the same as dev->vblank_disable_immediate
= 0 is to be treated as "never disable vblanks"
0 is to be treated as disable immediate if kms driver wants it
     that way via dev->vblank_disable_immediate. Otherwise it is
     a disable timeout in msecs.

This got broken in Linux 3.18+ for the implementation of
drm_vblank_on. If the user specified a value of zero which should
always reenable vblank irqs in this function, a kms driver could
override the users choice by setting vblank_disable_immediate
to true. This patch fixes the regression and keeps the user in
control.

Hm, shouldn't we change this to only enable the vblank irq if we need it,
i.e. offdelay == 0? For delayed disabling there's kinda no need to enable
it superflously after a modeset, if userspace didn't yet ask for vblank
timestamps. But then is was specifically added by Ville in cd19e52aee922,
so I guess someone really wants this.

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.

I can change that to offdelay==0 only, if you want. It was mostly about preserving what's there while at the same time fixing the important offdelay==0 user override.
