Subject: drm: avoid uninitialized timestamp use in wait_vblank

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

commit cff52e5fc4cfc978b7df898dc14a0492c7ef0ae8 upstream.

gcc warns about the timestamp in drm_wait_vblank being possibly
used without an initialization:

drivers/gpu/drm/drm_irq.c: In function 'drm_crtc_send_vblank_event':
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_irq.c:992:24: error: 'now.tv_usec' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_irq.c:1069:17: note: 'now.tv_usec' was declared here
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_irq.c:991:23: error: 'now.tv_sec' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This can happen if drm_vblank_count_and_time() returns 0 in its
error path. To sanitize the error case, I'm changing that function
to return a zero timestamp when it fails.
