You can't open the drm file until driver load completes, drm_global_mutex
ensures that. Which is totally not how it's supposed to be done (correct
way is to delay registering the dev node until it's all loaded), but until
we've completely ripped out UMS we can't switch over.

Unconditionally calling vblank_reset would break all the other drivers not
using vblank_on/off yet. And I don't want to audit all of them ...
