The hardware scanline numbers are always off by one (or two) when
compared to our more sensible software numbers (see
intel_crtc_scanline_offset()). On this level we're always
thinking in terms of the sotfware numbers, and dsb_scanline_to_hw()
will then do the necessary adjustment for us.

The only slight exception is the direct low level
intel_dsb_emit_wait_dsl() call in intel_dsb_vblank_evade() for PSR,
because there we really do want to evade *hardware* scanline 0.
