Now we get to the real motiviation, because fbmem.c insists that
that's the right lock for these.
Ofc fbcon.c has a lot more places where it probably should call
lock_fb_info(). But looking at fbmem.c at least most of these seem to
be protected by console_lock() too, which is probably what papers over
any issues.
Note that this means we're shuffling around a bit the locking sections
for some of the console takeover and unbind paths, but not all:
- console binding/unbinding from the console layer never with
lock_fb_info
- unbind (as opposed to unlink) never bother with lock_fb_info
Also the real serialization against set_par and set_pan are still
doing by wrapping the entire ioctl code in console_lock(). So this
shuffling shouldn't be worse than what we had from a "can you trigger
races?" pov, but it's at least clearer.
