Bug 1370079: P1. Don't check for DXVA support when checking for VP9 support.

Details
The logic introduced in bug 1338011 is flawed. We only enable VP9 hardware decoding when we know the platform have DXVA enabled. The WMF PDM is queried to find out if it supports VP9 in the content process. But in the content process, dxva is now always disabled whenever we have a GPU process. as a result, we never have VP9 hardware decoding if e10s and GPU decoding is enabled.
