[PATCH] fbdev/xen-fbfront: Assign fb_info->device

From: Jason Andryuk <jason.andryuk at amd.com>

Probing xen-fbfront faults in video_is_primary_device().  The passed-in
struct device is NULL since xen-fbfront doesn't assign it and the
memory is kzalloc()-ed.  Assign fb_info->device to avoid this.

This was exposed by the conversion of fb_is_primary_device() to
video_is_primary_device() which dropped a NULL check for struct device.

Fixes: f178e96de7f0 ("arch: Remove struct fb_info from video helpers")

The other option would be to re-instate the NULL check in
video_is_primary_device()
