drm/i915: Move vrr push after the frame counter sampling again
Moving the vrr push to happen before sampling the frame counter was wrong. If we are already in vblank when the push is sent the vblank exit will start immediately which causes the sampled frame counter to correspond to the next frame instead of the current frame. So put things back into the original order (except we should keep the vrr push within the irq disable section to avoid pointless irq related delays here). We'll just have to accept the tiny race that exists between sampling the frame counter vs. vrr push. And let's at least document said race properly in a comment. I suppose we could try to minimize the race by sampling the frame counter just before sending the push, but that would require changing drm_crtc_arm_vblank_event() to accept a caller provided vblank counter value, so leave it be for now. Another thing we could do is change the vblank evasion to account for the case where a push was already sent. That would anyway be required for mailbox style updates. Currently mailbox updates are only used by the legacy cursor, but we don't do a vrr push for those.
