Don't quirk SVGA if vmwgfx kernel driver is loaded

[Jakob Bornecrantz]

If you try to suspend the VM from within it, it fails to go up again because pm-utils power cycles the VGA devices which leaves the kernel driver in the wrong state. Leading to a hanged VM.

Please add this file /usr/lib/pm-utils/video-quirks/20-video-quirk-pm-vmware.quirkdb contents below:

match system.hardware.primary_video.vendor compare_eq 0x15ad
match system.hardware.primary_video.product compare_eq 0x0405
match system.hardware.primary_video.driver compare_eq vmwgfx
addquirk --quirk-none
endmatch
endmatch
endmatch

pm-utils hasn't been touched in eight years, none of this is likely to get addressed. Closing bugs and disabling the bz product.
