Test the vesa_attributes field in struct screen_info for compatibility
with VGA hardware. Vesafb currently tests bit 1 in screen_info's
capabilities field which indicates a 64-bit lfb address and is
unrelated to VGA compatibility.

Section 4.4 of the Vesa VBE 2.0 specifications defines that bit 5 in
the mode's attributes field signals VGA compatibility. The mode is
compatible with VGA hardware if the bit is clear. In that case, the
driver can access VGA state of the VBE's underlying hardware. The
vesafb driver uses this feature to program the color LUT in palette
modes. Without, colors might be incorrect.

The problem got introduced in commit 89ec4c23 ("[PATCH] vesafb: Fix
incorrect logo colors in x86_64"). It incorrectly stores the mode
attributes in the screen_info's capabilities field and updates vesafb
accordingly. Later, commit 5e8ddcbe ("Video mode probing support for
the new x86 setup code") fixed the screen_info, but did not update vesafb.
Color output still tends to work, because bit 1 in capabilities is
usually 0.

Besides fixing the bug in vesafb, this commit introduces a helper that
reads the correct bit from screen_info.
