[PATCH 2/3] drm/amd/display: Enter VRR BTR earlier.

Use a 2 msecs switching headroom not only for slightly
delayed exiting of BTR mode, but now also for entering
it a bit before the max frame duration is exceeded.

With slowly changing time delay between successive flips
or with a bit of jitter in arrival of flips, this adapts
vblank early and prevents missed vblanks at the border
between non-BTR and BTR.

Testing on DCE-8, DCE-11 and DCN-1.0 shows that this more
often avoids skipped frames when moving across the BTR
boundary, especially on DCE-8 and DCE-11 with the followup
commit for dealing with pre-DCE-12 hw.
