fb: rework locking to fix lock ordering on takeover
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Adjust the console layer to allow a take over call where the caller
already holds the locks.  Make the fb layer lock in order.

This is partly a band aid, the fb layer is terminally confused about the
locking rules it uses for its notifiers it seems.
