[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t] tests/kms_async_flips: first async flip discarded on i915

[Arun R Murthy]

The i915 KMD will use the first async flip to update the watermarks as
per the watermark optimization in DISPLAY13. Hence the actual async flip
will happen from the subsequent flips.
For alternate sync async test, a dummy async flip has to be done to
allow the KMD to perform the watermark related updates before writing to
the surface base address.
