Subject: [PATCH] DRM: VBLANK: provide valid timestamp for EVENT_FLIP

If driver/HW doesn't support vblank functionality (for example
UDL driver, ARCPGU driver, ...) we always have vblank->time == 0.
In result we always provide zero timestamp for
DRM_EVENT_FLIP_COMPLETE. This breaks userspace apps (for example
weston) which relies on timestamp value.

Setup time to provide valid timestamp for DRM_EVENT_FLIP_COMPLETE
event.
