drm/i915/display: relax 2big checking around initial fb



The kernel prefers enabling fbc over the initial fb, since this leads to
actual runtime power savings, so if the initial fb is deemed too big
using some heuristic, then we simply skip allocating stolen for it.
However if the kernel is not configured with fbcon then it should be
possible to relax this, since unlike with fbcon the display server
shouldn't preserve it when later replacing it, and so we should be able
to re-use the stolen memory for fbc and friends. This patch is reported
to fix some flicker seen during boot splash on some devices.

v2: s/FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE/CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
