intelfb: fix a bug when changing video timing
When changing video timing dynamically via fbset the screen sporadically is rendered black. With the attached fix which disables VCO prior to timing register change the problem disappears. I had a look at the Xserver register setup code. Here the VCO is disabled in the same way [1]. This patch is taken from vga-sync-field version 0.0.11 [2][3].
