Subject: drm/vmwgfx: correct fb_fix_screeninfo.line_length

commit aa6de142c901cd2d90ef08db30ae87da214bedcc upstream.

Previously, the vmwgfx_fb driver would allow users to call FBIOSET_VINFO, but it would not adjust
the FINFO properly, resulting in distorted screen rendering. The patch corrects that behaviour.

See https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494794 for examples.
