[Devel] [PATCH vz10] drm/virtio: decline the device with -ENODEV when modesetting is off

Our kernels disable modesetting by default, see 7932a11226c8 ("drm:
Disable modeset by default"), so on a machine that was not booted with
"modeset" every KMS driver declines the device it was offered. Of 23
existing upstream drm drivers, 21 report -ENODEV in such case, which
really_probe() reports as "rejects match" at debug level. virtio_gpu
returns -EINVAL instead, which the same function reports as
virtio_gpu virtio0: probe with driver virtio_gpu failed with error -22
at error level, for a device the driver was never going to drive. It is
the only device error in the log of an otherwise healthy machine, and
the devices/error_logs selftest reports it, correctly.
Return -ENODEV, as the other drivers do. Nothing else changes: the probe
still does not happen and no drm device appears.
