[urgent] drm/fb-helper: Fix the dummy remove_conflicting_framebuffers

We always need to remove conflicting framebuffers if any other fb driver
is enabled, and not just if we are setting up an fbdev ourselves.

Unfortunately remove_conflicting_framebuffers() was incorrectly stubbed
out if !fbdev rather than !fb leading to major memory corruption (and
corrupt filesystems) upon boot.
