[PATCH-for-6.2 2/2] hw/display: Do not allow multiple identical VGA devices

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

vga_common_init() create a MemoryRegion named "vga.vram",
used as a singleton for the device class. When creating
the same device type multiple times, we get:

  $ qemu-system-mips64 -M pica61 -device isa-cirrus-vga
  RAMBlock "vga.vram" already registered, abort!
  Aborted (core dumped)

Commit 7852a77f598 ("vga: don't abort when adding a duplicate
isa-vga device") added a check for a single device, generalize
it to all VGA devices which call vga_common_init():

  $ qemu-system-mips64 -M pica61 -device isa-cirrus-vga
  qemu-system-mips64: -device isa-cirrus-vga: at most one isa-cirrus-vga device 
is permitted
