Too optimistic in thinking that the DRM driver will always be loaded
in time for scripts/init-top/framebuffer to load; some users find that
vesafb gets loaded first anyway, scrambling their console state in the
initramfs. Add a one-second sleep before checking if we should fall back
to vesafb, which seems to be long enough to work around this.

When falling back to vesafb, suppress stderr output from modprobe;
otherwise in some cases we'll get error output on a console that was
nicely blank up to a week ago. Failing to load vesafb is usually not an
error in any case.

give a better comment to explain what we're doing here, so future developers
can track it down and smack me if needed

scripts/init-top/framebuffer: fall back to vesafb if no other
framebuffer is found/configured, so we can take full advantage of the
grub gfxpayload handoff support. This ensures we get a clean
framebuffer-based plymouth screen even when using binary video drivers.
