drm/mgag200: Replace VRAM helpers with SHMEM helpers



The VRAM helpers managed the framebuffer memory for mgag200. This came
with several problems, as some MGA device require the scanout address
to be located at VRAM offset 0. It's incompatible with the page-flip
semantics of DRM's atomic modesettting. With atomic modesetting, old and
new framebuffers have to be located in VRAM at the same time. So at least
one of them has to reside at a non-0 offset.

This patch replaces VRAM helpers with SHMEM helpers. GEM SHMEM buffers
reside in system memory, and are shadow-copied into VRAM during page
flips. The shadow copy always starts at VRAM offset 0.

v2:
	* revert dev->pdev changes
