Felix Kuehling 81ffbbedc3 drm/radeon: fix deferred page-flip detection logic on Avivo-based ASICs 
This fixes page-flip-related flickering observed on Iconia Tab W500.

The update_pending status returned by radeon_page_flip is very accurate on
Avivo-based ASICs when vpos is negative.

Experiments were conducted on several ASIC generations ranging from RS690
to Cayman where the page flip was artificially timed to occur at a specific
vpos. With negative vpos, overriding update_pending always lead to
flickering.

The same experiment on RV380 and RV410 showed that update_pending is not
accurate with negative vpos. In most cases update_pending == 1 is returned
although the flip would complete before the start of the next frame.
Therefore I left the behaviour unchanged for pre-AVIVO ASICs for
performance reasons, although this may result in flickering in rare cases.

This change also makes the logic a little easier to understand.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
