drm/radeon: Ensure vblank interrupt is enabled on DPMS transition to on
NOTE: This patch only applies to 4.5.y or older kernels. With newer
kernels, this problem cannot happen because the driver now uses
drm_crtc_vblank_on/off instead of drm_vblank_pre/post_modeset[0]. I
consider this patch safer for older kernels than backporting the API
change, because drm_crtc_vblank_on/off had various issues in older
kernels, and I'm not sure all fixes for those have been backported to
all stable branches where this patch could be applied.
---------------------
Fixes the vblank interrupt being disabled when it should be on, which
can cause at least the following symptoms:
* Hangs when running 'xset dpms force off' in a GNOME session with
gnome-shell using DRI2.
* RandR 1.4 slave outputs freezing with garbage displayed using
xf86-video-ati 7.8.0 or newer.
