drm/fb-helper: factor out pseudo-palette
Peter extracted the pseudo palette computation, but seems to have done
an off-by-one. I spotted that +1, but then noticed that we've passed
start++ to (now gone) setcolreg function, so it seemed to all match
up. Except post vs. pre-increment ftw.
Result is that the palette is off-by-one, and the forground color
(slot 0) ends up black, rendering a fairly unreadable console.
What baffles me is that on some systems it still seems to work
somehow, which lead us all down a wild goose chase trying to add
load_lut calls back in in various places (which was also intentionally
removed, but really doesn't seem to be the real root cause).
