VGA whack-a-mole!

We need VGA to be disabled whenever our driver is working. So even
without reproducible bugs this patch makes sense, but we do have a bug
solved by this patch.

If you boot a Haswell machine with eDP+HDMI, then kill your display
manager and run:
    echo 0 > /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon1/bind
you'll get thousands of "unclaimed register" messages. Notice that
since we have eDP+HDMI, the power well is *enabled* when we run the
command, but if you look at dmesg you'll see that at some point during
the boot we disabled it and then reenabled it. This patch solves this
problem.

I didn't do a deep analysis of the problem, but I guess vgacon gets
seriously confused when it sees that the VGA plane is enabled.

Besides the command above, this problem can also be reproduced by the
"module_reload" test from intel-gpu-tools.

Fixes regression introduced by:
