Even without enabling the ringbuffers to allow command execution, we can still control the display engines to enable modesetting. So make the ringbuffer initialization failure soft, and mark the GPU as wedged instead. v2: Only treat an EIO from ring initialisation as a soft failure, and abort module load for any other failure, such as allocation failures.
