[igt-dev] [PATCH] tests/kms_flip: Discard any stale event at each retry

[Mark Yacoub]

From: Mark Yacoub <markyacoub at google.com>

[Why]
On slower devices, non blocking do_page_flip followed by wait_for_events does not finish fast enough to send an event to be consumed by wait_for_events.
Instead, wait_for_events ends up finding an unconsumed event from a
previous do_page_flip (i.e. a skipped preceding subtest) and signals
that the userspace is ready to do another do_page_flip while the first
one hasn't finished yet, resulting in an EBUSY.

[How]
At the beginning of every test running on crtc set, check for any stale
events and consume them so the kernel has no pending events.

Fixes: flip-vs-suspend and flip-vs-suspend-interruptible.
Tested on ChromeOS Volteer(i915-TGL) and Trogdor(msm)
