[PATCH v2] drm/core: Add drm_accurate_vblank_count_and_time, v2.

This function is useful for gen2 intel devices which have no frame
counter, but need a way to determine the current vblank count without
racing with the vblank interrupt handler.

intel_pipe_update_start checks if no vblank interrupt will occur
during vblank evasion, but cannot check whether the vblank handler has
run to completion. This function uses the timestamps to determine
when the last vblank has happened, and interpolates from there.

Changes since v1:
- Take vblank_time_lock and don't use drm_vblank_count_and_time.
