[PATCH v3 4/4] fbdev/vesafb: Use screen_info pointer from device

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Use the screen_info instance from the device instead of dereferencing
the global screen_info state. Decouples the driver from per-architecture
code. Duplicated the screen_info data, so that vesafb can modify it at
will.

v2:
        * comment on devm_kmemdup() usage (Javier)
