[PATCH 0/2] drm/vkms: Bugfix for igt-tests

[Shayenne Moura]

Daniel Vetter and I were discussing about this solution. We figured out that
after these patches, tests were passing but when the computer has a heavy
background workload, tests fail.

I tried a new solution. Instead of change the vblank_time variable, make the
`get_vblank_timestamp` return false when is not happening a vblank_irq.

It worked in the same way of our last attempt.

The reason for this change is that, when the timestamp is not accurate,
drm_vblank deals with this correcting timestamp when `get_vblank_timestamp`
returns false. However, this requirement is important when real hardware has an
error, and could not return the accurate vblank. Now, we need to know if our
`vkms_get_vblank_timestamp` should return false and when.
