drm/atomic: make drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks more agressive



drm_atomic_helper_setup_commit expects that flipping of previous commits
has happened when it is called to set up a new commit. This can be violated
by commits where userspace doesn't get a flip completion event to
synchronize against i.e. legacy modesets and property changes.

The expectation is that those are done by blocking commits, which wait for
completion. Most drivers call drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks in the
commit_tail to ensure completion, but the wait for next vblank might not
actually happen if the commit didn't change any planes.

Make the wait more agressive by also waiting if no planes changed. This
is the minimal regression fix for the 4.15 kernel series. Long term
drivers should switch away from drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_vblanks and
use drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_flip_done instead.

Fixes: de39bec1 ("drm/atomic: Remove waits in drm_atomic_helper_commit_cleanup_done, v2.")
