Huacai Chen b7ea85a4fe drm: fix a use-after-free when GPU acceleration disabled
When GPU acceleration is disabled, drm_vblank_cleanup() will free the
vblank-related data, such as vblank_refcount, vblank_inmodeset, etc.
But we found that drm_vblank_post_modeset() may be called after the
cleanup, which use vblank_refcount and vblank_inmodeset. And this will
cause a kernel panic.

Fix this by return immediately if dev->num_crtcs is zero. This is the
same thing that drm_vblank_pre_modeset() does.

Call trace of a drm_vblank_post_modeset() after drm_vblank_cleanup():

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
    http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation
