Series fbdev: Remove global screen_info in efifb/vesafb | expand

Use the screen_info instance from the device instead of dereferencing
the global screen_info state. Decouples the driver from per-architecture
code. Duplicated the screen_info data, so that efifb can modify it at
will.

v2:
	* comment on devm_kmemdup() usage (Javier)
