[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/5] drm/vblank: Do not update vblank counts if vblanks are already disabled.

Updating the vblank counts requires register reads and these reads may not
return meaningful values after the vblank interrupts are disabled as the
device may go to low power state. An additional change would be to allow
the driver to save the vblank counts before entering a low power state, but
that's for the future.

Also, disable vblanks after reading the HW counter in the case where
_crtc_vblank_off() is disabling vblanks.
