        drm/i915: switch disable_power_well default value to 1

The bug I'm seeing can be reproduced with:
- Boot your Haswell machine
- Make sure the power well gets disabled, then enabled. You can check
  this by seeing the messages print by hsw_set_power_well
- Stop your display manager
- echo 0 > /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon1/bind

I can easily reproduce this by blacklising snd_hda_intel and booting
with eDP+HDMI.

If you do this and then look at dmesg, you'll see we're printing
infinite "Unclaimed register" messages. This is happening because
we're stuck on an infinite loop inside console_unlock(), which is
calling many functions from vgacon.c. And the code that's triggering
the error messages is from vgacon_set_cursor_size().

For some reason, what fixes the problem is the code that clears
VGA_MSR_MEM_EN from VGA_MSR_WRITE. If you add some debug messages,
you'll see that we're reading a value of 0 and writing 0 back to it. I
really don't know why this fixes the problem, but I am sure that if
you remove the code line that writes 0 back the bug won't stop. I
suspect this is probably some problem with how the hardware gets
reinitialized when we reenable the power well.

Also notice that function i915_disable_vga_mem already existed and was
removed on commit 6e1b4fdad5157bb9e88777d525704aba24389bee, I just
brought it back. Notice that the intel_drv.h declaration was still
there too.

I know some people will probably request to deeply investigate why
exactly vgacon is doing the wrong thing, and ask me to replace the
"for (;;)" that exists inside console_unlock() with something else,
but my goal here is to just fix the regression. I don't think it's
worth spending that much time on vgacon code. And this is our
regression anyway.

Notice that this is just a partial fix to fd.o #67813. This fixes the
case where the power well is already enabled when we unbind, not when
it's disabled when we unbind.

V2: - Rebase (first version was sent in September).
