savagedb: Fix typo causing regression in savage4 series video chip detection

Two additional savage4 variants were added, but the S3_SAVAGE4_SERIES 
macro was incompletely modified, resulting in a false positive detection 
of a savage4 card regardless of which savage card is actually present. 
For non-savage4 series
cards, such as a Savage/IX-MV card, this results in garbled video and/or 
a hard-hang at boot time. Fix this by changing an '||' to an '&&' in the 
S3_SAVAGE4_SERIES macro.

Specifically, prior to linux-3.0, there were two savage4 variants 
(S3_SAVAGE4 and S3_PROSAVAGE). Hence, S3_SAVAGE4_SERIES was defined as

   S3_SAVAGE4 or S3_PROSAVAGE

In linux-3.0, two additional savage4 variants (S3_TWISTER and 
S3_PROSAVAGEDDR) have been added. Hence S3_SAVAGE4_SERIES should be 
defined as

   S3_SAVAGE4, S3_PROSAVAGE, S3_TWISTER, or S3_PROSAVAGEDDR

However, the #define macro for S3_SAVAGE4_SERIES was incompletely 
updated: the '||' should have been changed to an '&&'.
