Subject: drm/i915: Kick fbdev before vgacon

From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>

commit 0485c9dc24ec0939b42ca5104c0373297506b555 upstream.

This fixes a regression introduced in

    drm/i915: Only unbind vgacon, not other console drivers

My best guess is that the vga fbdev driver falls over if we rip out
parts of vgacon. Hooray.
