Hi:
This change is to make the function return error earlier when run into the
error branch:
if (c == 0 && (arg->flags & DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_EVENT))
return -EINVAL;
There two main FOR circles in this function, and the second FOR circle never
changes the if condition("(c == 0 && (arg->flags & DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_EVENT))")
variable`s value, like c & arg->flags.
So I think maybe we can check this condition before the second for circle, and
return the error earlier when run into this error branch.
