Two reasons for that: - This changes aligns atomic with the legacy page flip semantics as established by the i915 driver.

- Asking for an async flip on a disabled pipe generally indicates a userspace bug. Worst case userspace will busy-loop rendering (since flips complete immediately). So better to catch this fast.

Note that we can't do the same for synchronous commits since the legacy hooks allowed that. And there's probably piles of userspace code out there which relies on this.
