drm/i915: Only unbind vgacon, not other console drivers
The console subsystem only provides a function to switch to a given console, but we want to actually only switach away from vgacon. Unconditionally switching to the dummy console resulted in switching away from fbcon in multi-gpu setups when other gpu drivers are loaded before i915. Then either the reinitialization of fbcon when i915 registers its fbdev emulation or the teardown of the fbcon driver killed the machine. So only switch to the dummy console when it's required. Kudos to Chris for the original idea, I've only refined it a bit to still unregister vgacon even when it's currently unused.
