Subject: drm/i915: prevent crash with .disable_display parameter

From: Clint Taylor <clinton.a.taylor@intel.com>

commit 27892bbdc9233f33bf0f44e08aab8f12e0dec142 upstream.

The .disable_display parameter was causing a fatal crash when fbdev
was dereferenced during driver init.

V1: protection in i915_drv.c
V2: Moved protection to intel_fbdev.c
