Subject: [PATCH] drm/vblank: Fix delta_ns to an absolute value

If scanout started, we should reduce etime by delta_ns. But delta_ns
is negative if scanout has not started. If delta_ns is negative,
subtraction of delta_ns from etime increases etime. This is wrong, the
etime should not be increased, so you have to make delta_ns an
absolute value.

Hello all,

I think that the etime should not be increased.
In cases where delta_ns is negative, if you get time again after an
interrupt call, there is a problem that the time obtained from the
interrupt becomes the future time instead of the past time.

Please let me know if this patch is wrong.

Best regards,
Hoegeun
