fbmem: fix fb_info->lock and mm->mmap_sem circular locking dependency
Fix a circular locking dependency in the frame buffer console driver
pushing down the mutex fb_info->lock.
Circular locking dependecies occur calling the blocking
fb_notifier_call_chain() with fb_info->lock held. Notifier callbacks can
try to acquire mm->mmap_sem, while fb_mmap() acquires the locks in the
reverse order mm->mmap_sem => fb_info->lock.
