x86, ia64: Move EFI_FB vga_default_device() initialization to pci_vga_fixup()



Commit b4aa0163 ("efifb: Implement vga_default_device() (v2)") added
efifb vga_default_device() so EFI systems that do not load shadow VBIOS or
setup VGA get proper value for boot_vga PCI sysfs attribute on the
corresponding PCI device.

Xorg doesn't detect devices when boot_vga=0, e.g., on some EFI systems such
as MacBookAir2,1.  Xorg detects the GPU and finds the DRI device but then
bails out with "no devices detected".

Note: When vga_default_device() is set boot_vga PCI sysfs attribute
reflects its state.  When unset this attribute is 1 whenever
IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW flag is set.

With introduction of sysfb/simplefb/simpledrm efifb is getting obsolete
while having native drivers for the GPU also makes selecting sysfb/efifb
optional.

Remove the efifb implementation of vga_default_device() and initialize
vgaarb's vga_default_device() with the PCI GPU that matches boot
screen_info in pci_fixup_video().

[bhelgaas: remove unused "dev" in efifb_setup()]
