mainlining shenanigans

First thing we need to do is unregister the fbdev instance, but we
can't just go ahead and kfree it. That must wait until the hotplug and
polling work are stopped, since they can race with the with the
teardown. That means we need to split up the fbdev teardown into the
unregister part and the cleanup part.
I originally suspected that this was broken in one of the unload
shuffles, but on closer inspection the oldest sequence I've dug out
also gets this wrong. Just not quite so badly.
I've run drv_module_reload a few hundred times and it's rock solid
compared to insta-death beforehand. This bug seems to have been
uncovered by

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
