Before commit 73c352ab8c97d3 which converted the hostdev commandline formatter to JSON the 'ramfb' property was formatted only if it was enabled. The main reason for that is that enabling 'ramfb' switches the device model to 'vfio-pci-nohotplug' which actually has the property, while 'vfio-pci' (used when 'ramfb' is disabled or absent) doesn't have it. Restore the logic to format 'ramfb' only when it's enabled and add a comment that it's deliberate.
