vmgenid: replace x-write-pointer-available hack

Browse source 
This compat property sole function is to prevent the device from being
instantiated. Instead of requiring an extra compat property, check if
fw_cfg has DMA enabled.

fw_cfg is a built-in device that is initialized very early by the
machine init code.  We have at least one other device that also
assumes fw_cfg_find() can be safely used on realize: pvpanic.

This has the additional benefit of handling other cases properly, like:

  $ qemu-system-x86_64 -device vmgenid -machine none
  qemu-system-x86_64: -device vmgenid: vmgenid requires DMA write support in fw_cfg, which this machine type does not provide
  $ qemu-system-x86_64 -device vmgenid -machine pc-i440fx-2.9 -global fw_cfg.dma_enabled=off
  qemu-system-x86_64: -device vmgenid: vmgenid requires DMA write support in fw_cfg, which this machine type does not provide
  $ qemu-system-x86_64 -device vmgenid -machine pc-i440fx-2.6 -global fw_cfg.dma_enabled=on
  [boots normally]
