drm/ast: Remove existing framebuffers before loading driver
If vesafb attaches to the AST device, it configures the framebuffer memory
for uncached access by default. When ast.ko later tries to attach itself to
the device, it wants to use write-combining on the framebuffer memory, but
vesefb's existing configuration for uncached access takes precedence. This
results in reduced performance.
Removing the framebuffer's configuration before loding the AST driver fixes
the problem. Other DRM drivers already contain equivalent code.

Title:
ASPEED server console output extremely slow after upgrade to 18.04
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After the upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 my server console is extremely slow.
It looks similar to the youtube clips mentioned in the problem described
here: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2399941
My server is attached to a KVM switch with VGA cable to a 1920x1080 LCD.
It runs on an ASUS P9D-X board.
Before the upgrade everything was fine.
Now it is so slow that it sometimes even hangs during boot and goes into an
emergency console where I just can do a ctrl-alt-delete as described in bug
