Subject: OvmfPkg: QemuRamfbDxe: Do not report DXE failure on Aarch64 silent
 builds (RH only)

Notes about the RHEL-8.1/20190308-89910a39dcfd [edk2-stable201903] ->
RHEL-8.2/20190904-37eef91017ad [edk2-stable201908] rebase:

- We have to carry this downstream-only patch -- committed originally as
  aaaedc1e2cfd -- indefinitely.

- To avoid confusion, remove the tags from the commit message that had
  been added by the downstream maintainer scripts, such as: Message-id,
  Patchwork-id, O-Subject, Acked-by. These remain available on the
  original downstream commit. The Bugzilla line is preserved, as it
  doesn't relate to a specific posting, but to the problem.

Bugzilla: 1714446

To suppress an error message on the silent build when ramfb is
not configured, change QemuRamfbDxe to return EFI_SUCCESS even
when it fails.
Some memory is wasted (driver stays resident without
any good use), but it is mostly harmless, as the memory
is released by the OS after ExitBootServices().
