gpu: Fix uninitialized buddy for built-in drivers

Move buddy to the start of the link order, so its __init runs before any
other built-in drivers that may depend on it. Otherwise, a built-in
driver that tries to use the buddy allocator will run into a kernel NULL
pointer dereference because slab_blocks is uninitialized.

Specifically, this fixes drm/xe (as built-in) running into a kernel
panic during boot, because it uses buddy during device probe.

Fixes: ba110db8e1bc ("gpu: Move DRM buddy allocator one level up (part two)")
