This is too earlier to set deferred_setup when
intel_fb_initial_config() fails,
__drm_fb_helper_initial_config_and_unlock() will then try to
probe/create a fb but as there is no sink connected it will fail too.

Also __drm_fb_helper_initial_config_and_unlock() is already setting
deferred_setup if both attempts fails.
