Subject: [PATCH] drm/gud: Add async_flush module parameter

[ drm-misc commit a0356899ebe8ecde0da9c5685cc47154db973a5e ]
Provide a way for userspace to choose synchronous flushing/pageflips.
This helps save CPU and power.
It is also useful for test scripts since userspace can know when a flush
has happended and wait before doing the next visual test.
