This patch makes the amdgpu DM code use the page_flip_target hook.
drm_mode_page_flip_ioctl calls drm_crtc_vblank_get before the
page_flip_target hook.

You're right though that the fact that drm_atomic_helper_page_flip
doesn't call drm_crtc_vblank_get is a bit alarming. From the
DRM_IOCTL_MODE_PAGE_FLIP POV, drm_crtc_vblank_get must be called when
userspace calls the ioctl (either by drm_mode_page_flip_ioctl or the
page_flip hook implementation), and drm_crtc_vblank_put must be called
when the flip completes and the event is sent to userspace. How is this
supposed to be handled with atomic?

Andrey, did you check via code audit and/or testing that the vblank
reference count is still balanced after this change?

Yeah, such whitespace-only changes should be dropped.
