drm_helper_probe_add_cmdline_mode() prefers using a probed mode matching
a video= argument over calculating our own timings for the user specified
mode using CVT or GTF.
But userspace code which is auto-configuring the mode may want to know that
the user has specified that mode on the kernel commandline so that it can
pick that mode over the mode which is marked as DRM_MODE_TYPE_PREFERRED.
This commit sets the DRM_MODE_TYPE_USERDEF flag on the matching mode, just
as we would do on the user-specified mode when no matching probed mode is
found.
