fb: reorder the lock sequence to fix potential dead lock
Following commits: 50e244c fb: rework locking to fix lock ordering on takeover e93a9a8 fb: Yet another band-aid for fixing lockdep mess 054430e fbcon: fix locking harder reworked locking to fix related lock ordering on takeover, and introduced console_lock into fbmem, but it seems that the new lock sequence(fb_info->lock ---> console_lock) is against with the one in console_callback(console_lock ---> fb_info->lock), and leads to a potential dead lock as following: [ 601.079000] ====================================================== [ 601.079000] [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] [ 601.079000] 3.11.0 torvalds#189 Not tainted [ 601.079000] ------------------------------------------------------- [ 601.079000] kworker/0:3/619 is trying to acquire lock: [ 601.079000] (&fb_info->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81397566>] lock_fb_info+0x26/0x60 [ 601.079000] but task is already holding lock: [ 601.079000] (console_lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8141aae3>] console_callback+0x13/0x160 [ 601.079000] which lock already depends on the new lock.

And following Tomi's suggestion, fix these similar issues all in fb subsystem.
