drm/radeon: fix deferred page-flip detection logic on Avivo-based ASICs
This fixes page-flip-related flickering observed on Iconia Tab W500. The update_pending status returned by radeon_page_flip is very accurate on Avivo-based ASICs when vpos is negative. Experiments were conducted on several ASIC generations ranging from RS690 to Cayman where the page flip was artificially timed to occur at a specific vpos. With negative vpos, overriding update_pending always lead to flickering. The same experiment on RV380 and RV410 showed that update_pending is not accurate with negative vpos. In most cases update_pending == 1 is returned although the flip would complete before the start of the next frame. Therefore I left the behaviour unchanged for pre-AVIVO ASICs for performance reasons, although this may result in flickering in rare cases. This change also makes the logic a little easier to understand.
