The out label immediately unlocks vop->vop_lock again, seems a bit pointless. :)

AFAICT the self_refresh_active case should just return immediately, the out label would also send any pending atomic commit completion event, which seems wrong now that the vblank interrupt is left enabled. (I also wonder if drm_crtc_vblank_off doesn't take care of that already, at least amdgpu doesn't do this explicitly AFAICT)
