Krzysztof Helt aef7db4bd5 fbdev: fix recursive notifier and locking when fbdev console is blanked
Fix infinite recursive notifier in the fbdev layer.  This causes recursive
locking.  Dmitry Baryshkov found the problem and confirmed that the patch
fixes the bug.

After doing
# echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank
I got the following in my kernel log:

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.27-rc6-00086-gda63874-dirty #97
---------------------------------------------
echo/1564 is trying to acquire lock:
 ((fb_notifier_list).rwsem){..--}, at: [<c005a384>] __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x38/0x6c

but task is already holding lock:
 ((fb_notifier_list).rwsem){..--}, at: [<c005a384>] __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x38/0x6c

other info that might help us debug this:
2 locks held by echo/1564:
 #0:  (&buffer->mutex){--..}, at: [<c00ddde0>] sysfs_write_file+0x30/0x80
 #1:  ((fb_notifier_list).rwsem){..--}, at: [<c005a384>] __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x38/0x6c
