[PATCH v5 8/9] fbcon: Use screen info to find primary device

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello at amd.com>
On systems with non VGA GPUs fbcon can't find the primary GPU because
video_is_primary_device() only checks the VGA arbiter.
Add a screen info check to video_is_primary_device() so that callers
can get accurate data on such systems.
