[PATCH v3 7/7] fbcon: Make a symlink to the device selected as primary

[Mario Limonciello]

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello at amd.com>

Knowing which device is the primary device can be useful for userspace
to make decisions on which device to start a display server.

Create a link to that device called 'primary_device'.
