kernel/apple_gmux: Unbreak loading i915.
* Commit 183e2373896e4ea605435a6bd8f943e8273bf8cd broke loading i915
on Apple MacBookPro laptops with dual GPUs and the gmux chip. The
reason is that whereas formely drm_init_pdev() and drm_fill_pdev()
where mere bookkeeping routines, the above commit relocates
assignment of irq from drm_drv.c:drm_attach() to drm_fill_pdev().
Since apple_gmux is loaded before i915, and apple_gmux initializes
a pdev structure including an irq for the graphics pci device, the
i915 which is loaded afterwards will get zero for an irq and hence
fails to attach.
* The temporary fix is to disable apple_gmux initializing a pci_dev
structure for bookkeeping purposes. This is not needed at the
moment since the primary purpose of apple_gmux is to switch to iGPU
so the user is not left with a frozen screen after loading i915. We
do not support switching between GPUs yet.
* When and if the initialization of graphics pci devices becomes
independent from the drm subsystem, we can make apple_gmux aware of
the various GPUs in the system.
