drm/radeon: Prevent races on pre DCE4 between flip submission and completion.

Pre DCE4 hw doesn't have reliable pageflip completion
interrupts, so instead polling for flip completion is
used from within the vblank irq handler to complete
page flips.

This causes a race if pageflip ioctl is called close to
vblank:

1. pageflip ioctl queues execution of radeon_flip_work_func.

2. vblank irq fires, radeon_crtc_handle_vblank checks for
   flip_status == FLIP_SUBMITTED finds none, no-ops.

3. radeon_flip_work_func runs inside vblank, decides to
   set flip_status == FLIP_SUBMITTED and programs the
   flip into hw.

4. hw executes flip immediately (because in vblank), but
   as 2 already happened, the flip completion routine only
   emits the flip completion event one refresh later ->
   wrong vblank count/timestamp for completion and no
   performance gain, as instead of delaying the flip until
   next vblank, we now delay the next flip by 1 refresh
   while waiting for the delayed flip completion event.

Given we often don't gain anything due to this race, but
lose precision, prevent the programmed flip from executing
in vblank on pre DCE4 asics to avoid this race.

On pre-AVIVO hw we can't program the hw for edge-triggered
flips, they always execute anywhere in vblank. Therefore delay
the actual flip programming until after vblank on pre-AVIVO.
