FBIO_WAITFORVSYNC is a stardard ioctl for waiting vsync, already
used by some userspace, so add it as an alias for OMAPFB_WAITFORVSYNC.

Tomi,

I know I already sent this earlier, but as now FBIO_WAITFORVSYNC is a
standard ioctl, so why don't we support it? I know you might not like
that omapfb_ioctl will have one standard ioctl handler between all OMAP
specific ones, but that's something plenty of other drivers do.
One could ask that if FBIO_WAITFORSYNC is a standard ioctl, why do we
need to handle it in omapfb's custom ioctl function =).

But I think this is fine, I'll apply.
[Hiremath, Vaibhav] I still think we should mark the old (custom) interface as deprecated and add new standard ioctl interface here, so that in the future we can remove custom one.

Thanks,
Vaibhav
 Tomi
