[PATCH] drm/exynos: fix kernel panic issue at drm releasing

This patch fixes a kernel panic issue which happened
when drm driver is closed while modetest.

This issue could be reproduced easily by launching modetest
with page flip repeatedly.

The reason is that invalid drm_file object could be accessed by
send_vblank_event function when finishing page flip if the drm_file
object was removed by drm_release and there was a pended page
flip event which was already committed to hardware.

So this patch makes the pended page flip event to be cancelled by
preclose callback which is called at front of drm_release function.
