drm: add some comments to drm_wait_vblank and drm_queue_vblank_event
during the review of the fix for locks problems in drm_wait_vblank, a couple of false concerns were raised about how the drm_vblank_get and drm_vblank_put are used in this function; it turned out that the code is correct and that it cannot be simplified add a few comments to explain non-obvious flows in the code, to prevent "false alarms" in the future v2: incorporate comments received from Daniel Vetter Signed-off-by: Ilija Hadzic <ihadzic@research.bell-labs.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>
