x86/vga: fix mapping of the VGA text buffer

The call to ioremap_wc() in video_init() will always fail, because
video_init() is called ahead of vm_init_type(), and so the underlying
__vmap() call will fail to allocate the linear address space.

Fix by reverting to the previous behavior and use __va() for the VGA text
buffer, as it's below the 1MB boundary, and thus always mapped in the
directmap.
