drm/i915/vlv: Ack interrupts before handling them (VLV)
Otherwise, we might receive a new interrupt before we have time to ack the first one, eventually missing it. Without an atomic XCHG operation with mmio space, this patch merely reduces the window in which we can miss an interrupt (especially when you consider how heavyweight the I915_READ/I915_WRITE operations are). Notice that, before clearing a port-sourced interrupt in the IIR, the corresponding interrupt source status in the PORT_HOTPLUG_STAT must be cleared. Spotted by Bob Beckett <robert.beckett@intel.com>. v2: - Reorder the IIR clearing to reduce the window even further. - Add warning to commit message and comments to the code as per Chris Wilson's request. - Imre Deak pointed out that the pipe underrun flag might not be signaled in IIR, so do not make valleyview_pipestat_irq_handler depend on it. v3: Improve the source code comment.
