[PATCH 5/7] compositor-drm: Gracefully handle vblank and flip invalid timestamps

Instant query for vblank timestamp may always fail, resulting in
never scheduling a full repaint in drm_output_start_repaint_loop().

Additionally, timestamp provided in page_flip_handler() may also be
invalid.

This change makes both drm_output_start_repaint_loop() and
page_flip_handler() to schedule a full repaint in any of the
situations above.
