The page flip handler stores the page flip event pointer and then calls
drm_vblank_get() to enable the vblank interrupt. Due to the vblank off
delay, the vblank interrupt can be enabled in the hardware at that
point, even if the vblank reference count is equal to 0. If a vblank
interrupt is triggered between storing the event pointer and calling
drm_vblank_get(), the page flip completion handler will process the
event and call drm_vblank_put() with a reference count equal to 0. This
will result in a BUG_ON.

Fix the race condition by calling drm_vblank_get() before storing the
event pointer.

Hi Dave,

Could you please pick this patch for v3.10 ?
