AMD kernel modules to amdgpu again

Description

Disclaimer - this might be a duplicate of T3752

As I did some research I noticed that update-grub /etc/default/grub ignores GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, so I went to /boot/grub/grub.cfg to see what actually got generated. Previous kernel (before todays update) and the current kernel had a slight different variable changes:

radeon.si_support=1 radeon.cik_support=1 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.cik_support=1

So even though YOU SHOULD BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THESE FILES I changed the first two variables to 0 (also tested to change and use update-grub, it changes the variables back to 1 again). I rebooted and vulkan works normally again.

@Sethox note that the correct method would be https://getsol.us/articles/troubleshooting/boot-management/en/#appending-kernel-parameters-to-solus-boot

And adding radeon.si_support=0 radeon.cik_support=0 to the file and it will append it after overriding the 1 setting.

If you are up for it (and before you set the above, what happens when you remove the options radeon.si_support=1 radeon.cik_support=1 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.cik_support=1 altogether so booting without any of the variables set?
