Subject: [PATCH] video/fb : cleanup FB_MAJOR usage

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.
