[PATCH 3/4] drm/amdgpu: Allow vblank_disable_immediate.

With instantaneous high precision vblank timestamping
that updates at leading edge of vblank, a cooked hw
vblank counter which increments at leading edge of
vblank, and reliable page flip execution and completion
at leading edge of vblank, we should meet the requirements
for fast/immediate vblank irq disable/enable.
Testing on Linux-4.12-rc5 + drm-next on a Radeon R9 380
Tonga Pro (DCE 10) with timing measurement equipment
indicates this works fine, so allow immediate vblank
disable for power saving.
For debugging in case of unexpected trouble, booting
with kernel cmdline option drm.vblankoffdelay=0
(or echo 0 > /sys/module/drm/parameters/vblankoffdelay)
would keep vblank irqs permanently on to approximate old
behavior.
