[PATCH 4/12] atyfb: Remove unneeded calls to wait_for_idle

["Antonino A. Daplas" <adaplas@gmail.com>]

The drawing functions of atyfb is unecessary syncing the GPU which is affecting
performance.  Remove the calls, any direct access by fbcon to the framebuffer
will always be preceeded by a call to atyfb_sync().
