[PATCH 2/2] DRI2: Add error message when working around driver bug

There isn't API that allows application atomically query for msc changes
and schedule swaps. If msc changes dramatically between query and
scheduling application would schedule swap to happen at wrong time.

Because of API limitations driver has to make msc increment for each
vblank affecting the drawable.
