drm/vmwgfx: Work around mode set failure in 2D VMs
In a low-memory 2D VM, fbdev can take up a large percentage of available memory, making them unavailable for other DRM clients. Since we do not take fbdev into account when filtering modes, we end up claiming to support more modes than we actually do. As a result, users get a black screen when setting a mode too large for current available memory. In a low-memory VM configuration, users can get a black screen for a mode as low as 1024x768. The current mode filtering mechanism keys off of SVGA_REG_SUGGESTED_GBOBJECT_MEM_SIZE_KB, i.e. the maximum amount of surface memory we have. Since this value is a performance suggestion, not a hard limit, and since there should not be much of a performance impact for a 2D VM, rather than filtering out more modes, we will just allow ourselves to exceed the SVGA's performance suggestion. Also changed assumed bpp to 32 from 16 to make sure we can actually support all the modes listed.
