drm/vblank: Use drm_for_each_crtc() in drm_vblank_init()

This patch updates drm_vblank_init() to use the drm_for_each_crtc() iterator
instead of manually counting the number of CRTCs.

[Severity: Critical]
Could this change lead to an uninitialized vblank array and subsequent page
fault for drivers that initialize vblank before creating CRTCs?

For example, in vkms_drv.c:vkms_create(), drm_vblank_init() is called before
vkms_modeset_init() creates the CRTCs:

        ret = drm_vblank_init(&vkms_device->drm);
        if (ret) {
                DRM_ERROR("Failed to vblank\n");
                goto out_devres;
        }

        ret = vkms_modeset_init(vkms_device);

Because the CRTCs are not yet created at this point, dev->mode_config.num_crtc
is 0. The allocation for the vblank array becomes a 0-byte allocation,
returning ZERO_SIZE_PTR (0x10). The drm_for_each_crtc() loop then executes 0
times, and drm_vblank_init() successfully returns 0.

When userspace later calls DRM_IOCTL_WAIT_VBLANK, the kernel looks up the
CRTC using drm_vblank_crtc(dev, pipe). This returns a pointer into the array,
which evaluates to ZERO_SIZE_PTR + pipe * sizeof(...).

Will dereferencing this pointer cause an immediate kernel OOPS?
