Subject: [PATCH] mdacon: fix redefinition of 'scr_memsetw'

From: Jackie Liu <liuyun01@...inos.cn>

CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=n and CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE=n will cause vt_buffer.h not
include <asm/vga.h>.

But if we set CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE=m, mdacon.c include <linux/vt_buffer.h>
is in front of include <asm/vga.h>. VT_BUF_HAVE_MEMSETW is not defined,
so vt_buffer.h will define a scr_memsetw, after that, vga.h also define
a scr_memsetw, so the repeated definition of scr_memsetw appears, builds
error.

We only need to make vt_buffer.h also contain vga.h when
CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE=m. This problem can be fixed.

BTW, mdacon.c no need to include vga.h forcibly, let vt_buffer.h do it.
