pipe should be 'unsigned int' for consistency.

One thing that came to mind is some callers might end up doing the
update twice if the irq wasn't yet enabled when drm_vblank_get() was
called. Eg. drm_wait_one_vblank() might do that. So it might be a bit
more efficient to add a drm_vblank_get_and_update() instead, or something
like that. But I don't really care too much.
