I tried some test about this scenario that commit_tail calls in sequence disable 
- enable - commit.
In a first test. there was a warning and found out that it raised from 
vkms_get_vblank_timestamp() the code checking vblank_hrtimer's expire time and 
vblank_time. In first run, vblank_time and hrtimer's expire time was both zero.  
because vblank wasn't happened yet. this warning wasn't happend since second run 
that vblank time was set from first run. 

I don't know it's good way to solve the problem. Is there no problem in other 
drm modules?
