    drm/vkms: Bugfix extra vblank frame

we fixed the vblank counter to give accurate results outside of
drm_crtc_handle_vblank, which fixed bugs around vblank timestamps
being off-by-one and causing the vblank counter to jump when it
shouldn't.

The trouble is that this completely broke crc generation. Shayenne and
Rodrigo tracked this down to the vblank timestamp going backwards in
time somehow. Which then resulted in an underflow in drm_vblank.c
code, which resulted in all kinds of things breaking really badly.

The reason for this is that once we've called drm_crtc_handle_vblank
and the hrtimer isn't forwarded yet, we're returning a vblank
timestamp in the past. This race is really hard to hit since it's
small, except when you enable crc generation: In that case there's a
call to drm_crtc_accurate_vblank right in-betwen, so we're guaranteed
to hit the bug.

The fix is to roll the hrtimer forward _before_ we do the vblank
processing (which has a side-effect of incrementing the vblank
counter), and we always subtract one frame from the hrtimer - since
now it's always one frame in the future.

To make sure we don't hit this again also add a WARN_ON checking for
whether our timestamp is somehow moving into the past, which is never
should.

This also aligns more with how real hw works:
1. first all registers are updated with the new timestamp/vblank
counter values.
2. then an interrupt is generated
3. kernel interrupt handler eventually fires.

So doing this aligns vkms closer with what drm_vblank.c expects.
Document this also in a comment.
