Subject: [PATCH 4.15 046/168] vfb: fix video mode and line_length being set when loaded

4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Pieter \\\"PoroCYon\\\" Sluys" <pcy@...ional.shitposting.agency>


[ Upstream commit 7b9faf5df0ac495a1a3d7cdb64921c179f9008ac ]

Currently, when loading the vfb module, the newly created fbdev
has a line_length of 0, and its video mode would be PSEUDOCOLOR
regardless of color depth. (The former could be worked around by
calling the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO ioctl with having the FBACTIVIATE_FORCE
flag set.) This patch automatically sets the line_length correctly,
and the video mode is derived from the bit depth now as well.

Thanks to Geert Uytterhoeven for confirming the bug and helping me with
the patch.
