video/fb: cleanup FB_MAJOR usage
Currently, linux/major.h defines a GRAPHDEV_MAJOR (29) that nobody uses,
and linux/fb.h defines the real FB_MAJOR (also 29), that only fbmem.c
needs. Drop GRAPHDEV_MAJOR from major.h, move FB_MAJOR definition from
fb.h to major.h, and fix fbmem.c to use major.h's definition.
<linux/fb.h> is exported to userspace, so this may affect userspace
applications.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
