Subject: video/fb: cleanup FB_MAJOR usage
From: Philippe De Muyter <phdm@macqel.be>

Currently, linux/major.h defines a GRAPHDEV_MAJOR (29) that nobody uses,
and linux/fb.h defines the real FB_MAJOR (also 29), that only fbmem.c
needs.  Drop GRAPHDEV_MAJOR from major.h, move FB_MAJOR definition from
fb.h to major.h, and fix fbmem.c to use major.h's definition.
