Does drm_crtc_vblank_get() actually fail when drm_crtc_vblank_on()
hasn't been called?  The code is a bit twisty, but it looked like we
would track the get refcount and then turn on the interrupt once
drm_crtc_vblank_on() was called.

The first change of the two seems straightforward and good, though (and
possible to separate, right?).
