    remove vbestate_restore quirk for Dell M65

    Remove vbestate_restore quirk, it might break suspend for this laptop
    (it is known to work with only vbe-post)


Are you using a non-free video driver? I'm ccing Frederic who did this patch.
Frederic, do you know for what bios versions etc ou revified the vbe_post
setting?
