Subject: drm/vmwgfx: Fix order of operation

From: Sinclair Yeh <[email protected]>

commit 7851496a32319237456919575e5f4ba62f74cc7d upstream.

mode->hdisplay * (var->bits_per_pixel + 7) gets evaluated before the division, potentially making the pitch larger than it should be.

Since the original intention is to do a div-round-up, just use the macro instead.
