Subject: [PATCH 08/12] drm/vboxvideo: Use devm aperture helpers for sysfb restore on probe failure

Use devm_aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_devices() instead of the
non-devm variant to automatically restore the system framebuffer
(efifb/simpledrm) if the driver's probe fails after removing the
firmware framebuffer.

Call devm_aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_devices_done() after
successful probe to cancel the automatic restore, as the driver
is now responsible for display output.

This ensures users don't lose display output if the vboxvideo driver
fails to probe after removing the firmware framebuffer.
