Subject: [PATCH 2/2] drm/vkms: Update testing with IGT IGT_DEVICE

VKMS is no longer in the platform bus, instead, it is in the faux bus.

In addition, when present, IGT picks hardware drivers instead of virtual
drivers, like VKMS or vgem, if they are not forced.

Update the documentation to use IGT_FORCE_DRIVER instead of IGT_DEVICE.

 For example, to test the functionality of the writeback library,
 we can run the kms_writeback test::
 
-  sudo ./build/tests/kms_writeback --device "sys:/sys/devices/platform/vkms"
-  sudo IGT_DEVICE="sys:/sys/devices/platform/vkms" ./build/tests/kms_writeback

+  sudo IGT_FORCE_DRIVER="vkms" ./scripts/run-tests.sh -t kms_writeback
 
 You can also run subtests if you do not want to run the entire test::
 
-  sudo ./build/tests/kms_flip --run-subtest basic-plain-flip --device "sys:/sys/devices/platform/vkms"
-  sudo IGT_DEVICE="sys:/sys/devices/platform/vkms" ./build/tests/kms_flip --run-subtest basic-plain-flip
