[PATCH 1/6] drm: Add vblank prepare and unprepare hooks.

This will allow drivers to control specific power saving
feature and power domains when dealing with vblanks.

Vblanks code are protected by spin_locks where we can't
have anything that can sleep. While power saving features
and power domain code have mutexes to control the states.

Mutex can sleep so they cannot be used inside spin lock areas.
So the easiest way to deal with them currently is to add these
prepare hook for pre enabling vblanks
and unprepare one for post disabling them.

Let's introduce this optional prepare and unprepare
hooks so drivers can deal with cases like this and any other
case that should require sleeping codes interacting with vblanks.

v2: - Rebase after a split on drm_irq.h.
    - Use refcount to minimize the prepare/unprepare calls to
      only when enabling or disabling the vblank irq. (DK's)
    - Improved doc.
    - Fix the negative unprepare.count case.
