fbmem: pull fbcon_fb_blanked out of fb_blank There's a callchain of: fbcon_fb_blanked -> do_(un)blank_screen -> consw->con_blank -> fbcon_blank -> fb_blank Things don't go horribly wrong because the BKL console_lock safes the day, but that's about it. And the seeming recursion is broken in 2 ways: - Starting from the fbdev ioctl we set FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT, which tells the fbcon_blank code to not call fb_blank. This was required to not deadlock when recursing on the fb_notifier_chain mutex. - Starting from the con_blank hook we're getting saved by the console_blanked checks in do_blank/unblank_screen. Or at least that's my theory. Anyway, recursion isn't awesome, so let's stop it. Breaking the recursion avoids the need to be in the FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT critical section, so lets move it out of that too. The astute reader will notice that fb_blank seems to require lock_fb_info(), which the fbcon code seems to ignore. I have no idea how to fix that problem, so let's keep ignoring it. v2: I forgot the sysfs blanking code. v3: Fix typo in callchain in the commmit message (Sam).
