vfb: only enable if explicitly requested when compiled in
The Kconfig help for the vfb driver says:
Do NOT enable it for normal systems! To protect the innocent, it
has to be enabled explicitly at boot time using the kernel option
`video=vfb:'.
This change lets the code match the description.
Support for vfb:disable is kept for backwards compatibility; vfb:off works
because it is tested at a higher level.
Note: any undefined option (e.g. vfb:enable) will also enable this driver.
The relevant code has been unchanged since before the migration to
git (2.6.12).
This patch fixes bugzilla #9310 and was the root cause behind
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/31/220.
