fbdev: section cleanup in vfb

Fix up the section in the vfb driver, by moving the variables vfb_default
and vfb_fix from .init.data to .devinit.data

This fixes the following warnings issued by modpost:

WARNING: drivers/video/vfb.o(.devinit.text+0xf8): Section mismatch in reference from the function vfb_probe() to the variable .init.data:vfb_default
The function __devinit vfb_probe() references
a variable __initdata vfb_default.
If vfb_default is only used by vfb_probe then
annotate vfb_default with a matching annotation.

WARNING: drivers/video/vfb.o(.devinit.text+0x114): Section mismatch in reference from the function vfb_probe() to the variable .init.data:vfb_fix
The function __devinit vfb_probe() references
a variable __initdata vfb_fix.
If vfb_fix is only used by vfb_probe then
annotate vfb_fix with a matching annotation.
