[PATCH v3 1/5] fbdev: Avoid file argument in fb_pgprotect()

Only PowerPC's fb_pgprotect() needs the file argument, although
the implementation does not use it. Pass NULL to the internal
helper in preparation of further updates. A later patch will remove
the file parameter from fb_pgprotect().

While at it, replace the shift operation with PHYS_PFN().
