commit 0cbd0adc upstream.

As discussed with Nicholas and Daniel Vetter (patchwork
link to discussion below), the VRR timestamping behaviour
produced utterly useless and bogus vblank/pageflip
timestamps. We have found a way to fix this and provide
sane behaviour.

As of Linux 5.2, the amdgpu driver will be able to
provide exactly the same vblank / pageflip timestamp
semantic in variable refresh rate mode as in standard
fixed refresh rate mode. This is achieved by deferring
core vblank handling (drm_crtc_handle_vblank()) until
the end of front porch, and also defer the sending of
pageflip completion events until end of front porch,
when we can safely compute correct pageflip/vblank
timestamps.

The same approach will be possible for other VRR
capable kms drivers, so we can actually have sane
and useful timestamps in VRR mode.

This patch removes the section of the docs that
describes the broken timestamp behaviour present
in Linux 5.0/5.1.
