File u_fbdevhw_kernel6.9_break_fbdev_open.patch of Package xorg-x11-server

Linux kernel v6.9 has changed the symlink to point to the parent device.
This breaks fbdev_open() detection logic. Change it to use the subsystem
symlink instead which will remain stable.

Kernel v6.8:

[    14.067] (II) fbdev_open() sysfs_path=/sys/class/graphics/fb0
[    14.067] (II) fbdev_open() buf=../../devices/platform/vesa-framebuffer.0/graphics/fb0

Kernel v6.9:

[    15.609] (II) fbdev_open() sysfs_path=/sys/class/graphics/fb0
[    15.609] (II) fbdev_open() buf=../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/vesa-framebuffer.0/graphics/fb0

Originally found in automated Debian ISO QA testing [0] and confirmed in Linux [1].

Tested on kernels v6.9.7 and v6.8.12
