drm: Only create a cmdline mode if no probed modes match
The intention of using video=<connector>:<mode> is primarily to select the user's preferred resolution at startup. Currently we always create a new mode irrespective of whether the monitor has a native mode at the desired resolution. This has the issue that we may then select the fake mode rather the native mode during fb_helper->inital_config() and so if the fake mode is invalid we then end up with a loss of signal. Oops. This invalid fake mode would also be exported to userspace, who potentially may make the same mistake. To avoid this issue, we filter out the added command line mode if we detect the desired resolution (and clock if specified) amongst the probed modes. This fixes the immediate problem of adding a duplicate mode, but perhaps more generically we should avoid adding a GTF mode if the monitor has an EDID that is not GTF-compatible, or similarly for CVT.
