Linus Torvalds 698b368275 fbcon: add lifetime refcount to opened frame buffers
This just adds the refcount and the new registration lock logic.  It
does not (for example) actually change the read/write/ioctl routines to
actually use the frame buffer that was opened: those function still end
up alway susing whatever the current frame buffer is at the time of the
call.

Without this, if something holds the frame buffer open over a
framebuffer switch, the close() operation after the switch will access a
fb_info that has been free'd by the unregistering of the old frame
buffer.

(The read/write/ioctl operations will normally not cause problems,
because they will - illogically - pick up the new fbcon instead.  But a
switch that happens just as one of those is going on might see problems
too, the window is just much smaller: one individual op rather than the
whole open-close sequence.)

This use-after-free is apparently fairly easily triggered by the Ubuntu
11.04 boot sequence.
