drm/i915: Recognise non-VGA display devices

Starting with SandyBridge (though possible with earlier hacked BIOSes),
the BIOS may initialise the IGFX as secondary to a discrete GPU. Prior,
it would simply disable the integrated GPU. So we adjust our PCI class
mask to match any DISPLAY_CLASS device.

In such a configuration, the IGFX is not a primary VGA controller and
so should not take part in VGA arbitration, and the error return from
vga_client_register() is expected.
