drm: Push latency sensitive bits of vblank scanoutpos timestamping into kms drivers.

A change in locking of some kms drivers (currently intel-kms) make
the old approach too inaccurate and also incompatible with the
PREEMPT_RT realtime kernel patchset.

The driver->get_scanout_position() method of intel-kms now needs
to aquire a spinlock, which clashes badly with the former
preempt_disable() calls in the drm, and it also introduces larger
delays and timing uncertainty on a contended lock than acceptable.

This patch changes the prototype of driver->get_scanout_position()
to require/allow kms drivers to perform the ktime_get() system time
queries which go along with actual scanout position readout in a way
that provides maximum precision and to return those timestamps to
the drm. kms drivers implementations of get_scanout_position() are
asked to implement timestamping and scanoutpos readout in a way
that is as precise as possible and compatible with preempt_disable()
on a PREMPT_RT kernel. A driver should follow this pattern in
get_scanout_position() for precision and compatibility:

spin_lock...(...);
preempt_disable_rt(); // On a PREEMPT_RT kernel, otherwise omit.
if (stime) *stime = ktime_get();
... Minimum amount of MMIO register reads to get scanout position ...
... no taking of locks allowed here! ...
if (etime) *etime = ktime_get();
preempt_enable_rt(); // On PREEMPT_RT kernel, otherwise omit.
spin_unlock...(...);
