fbdev: make the best-fit section of fb_find_mode return the closest matching mode

Currently, if a perfect match in terms of resolution is not found,
fb_find_mode() only looks for a best-fit mode among modes with a higher
resolution than the one requested.  Thus, if the user requests a resolution
higher than the largest supported one, they are dropped to the default mode
(usually a low resolution one).

Change this behaviour so that all valid video modes are considered when
looking for a best-fit mode, while still preferring modes with a higher
resolution.
