drm/vblank: Document and fix vblank count barrier semantics

Noticed while reviewing code. I'm not sure whether this might or might
not explain some of the missed vblank hilarity we've been seeing on
various drivers (but those got tracked down to driver issues, at least
mostly). I think those all go through the vblank completion event,
which has unconditional barriers - it always takes the spinlock.
Therefore no cc stable.

v2:
- Barrriers are hard, put them in in the right order (Chris).
- Improve the comments a bit.

v3:

Ville noticed that on 32bit we might be breaking up the load/stores,
now that the vblank counter has been switched over to be 64 bit. Fix
that up by switching to atomic64_t. This this happens so rarely in
practice I figured no need to cc: stable ...
