    drm: decline the device with -ENODEV when modesetting is off
    
    Our kernels disable modesetting by default, see commit 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.
    Almost all of them report -ENODEV in such case, which really_probe()
    reports as "rejects match" at debug level. virtio_gpu and amdgpu return
    -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.
