[PATCH 2/2] xfree86: Try harder to find atleast 1 non GPU Screen

If we did not find any non GPU Screens, try again ignoring the notion
of any video devices being the primary device. This fixes Xorg exiting
with a "no screens found" error when using virtio-vga in a
virtual-machine and when using a device driven by simpledrm.

This is a somewhat ugly solution, but it is the best I can come up with
without major surgery to the bus and probe code.
