fbdev/vga16fb: Create EGA/VGA devices in sysfb code

Browse source

Move the device-creation from vga16fb to sysfb code. The driver's
videomode checks are independent from device creation, so move them
into vga16fb's probe function. This will allow to create the module
init/exit code automatically.

The vga16fb driver requires a screen_info for type VIDEO_TYPE_VGAC
or VIDEO_TYPE_EGAC. Such code is nowhere present in the kernel, except
for some MIPS systems. It's not clear if the vga16fb driver actually
works in practice.

v2:
	* keep driver name to "vga16fb" (Javier)
	* give rational for moving mode checks (Javier)
