[PATCH V2] drm/vkms: Add support for vkms work without vblank

[Rodrigo Siqueira <rodrigosiqueiramelo@gmail.com>]

Currently, vkms needs VBlank to work well. This patch adds another
operation model that make vkms works without VBlank support. In this
scenario, vblank signaling is faked by calling drm_send_vblank_event()
in vkms_crtc_atomic_flush(); this approach works due to the
drm_vblank_get() == 0 verification.

Changes since V1:
  Daniel Vetter:
  - Change module parameter name from disablevblank to virtual_hw
  - Improve parameter description
  - Improve commit message
