Yes, but there might be a tiny behaviour change, that's why I haven't just
made it the default.

Also note that wait_for_vblanks is still the default in the
atomic_commit_tail (seee drm_atomic_helper_commit_tail), so there's a pile
more drivers using this implicitly.

But yeah would be really great to fix that all up, since I think
wait_for_flip_done is the better function. Maybe a todo.rst? Or perhaps we
should at least do it for atomic helpers, and just see what breaks? As a
start for this conversion.
