[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/atomic-helper: implement ->page_flip

[Daniel Vetter]

Currently there is no way to implement async flips using atomic, that
essentially requires us to be able to cancel pending requests
mid-flight.

To be able to do that (and I guess we want this since vblank synced
updates whic opportunistically cancel still pending updates seem to be
wanted) we'd need to add a mandatory cancellation mode. Depending upon
the exact semantics we decide upon that could mean that userspace will
not get completion events, or will get them all stacked up.

So reject async updates for now. Also async updates usually means not
vblank synced at all, and I guess for drivers which want to support
this they should simply add a special pageflip handler (since usually
you need a special flip cmd to achieve this). That kind of async flip
is pretty much exclusively just used for games and benchmarks where
dropping just one frame means you'll get a headshot or something bad
like that ... And so slight amounts of tearing is acceptable.

v2: Fixup kerneldoc, reported by Paulo.

v3: Use the set_crtc_for_plane function to assign the crtc, since
otherwise the book-keeping is off.

v4: Update crtc->primary->fb since ->page_flip is the only driver
callback where the core won't do this itself. We might want to fix
this inconsistency eventually.

v5: Use set_crtc_for_connector as suggested by Sean.

v6: Daniel Thompson noticed that my error handling is inconsistent
and that in a few cases I didn't handle fatal errors (i.e. not
-EDEADLK). Fix this by consolidate the ww mutex backoff handling
into one check in the fail: block and flatten the error control
flow everywhere else.
