Subject: fbcon: Fix delayed takeover locking
Git-commit: 9d79799193b728b62c9899d931b5009da1f89b67
Patch-mainline: v5.19-rc1
References: jsc#PED-1166 jsc#PED-1168 jsc#PED-1170 jsc#PED-1218 jsc#PED-1220 jsc#PED-1222 jsc#PED-1223 jsc#PED-1225

I messed up the delayed takover path in the locking conversion in
6e7da3af008b ("fbcon: Move console_lock for register/unlink/unregister").

If CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER is enabled, fbcon take-over
doesn't take place when calling fbcon_fb_registered(). Instead, is deferred
using a workqueue and its fbcon_register_existing_fbs() function calls to
fbcon_fb_registered() again for each registered fbcon fb.

This leads to the console_lock tried to be held twice, causing a deadlock.

Fix it by re-extracting the lockless function and using it in the
delayed takeover path, where we need to hold the lock already to
iterate over the list of already registered fb. Well the current code
still is broken in there (since the list is protected by a
registration_lock, which we can't take here because it nests the other
way round with console_lock), but in the future this will be a list
protected by console_lock when this is all sorted out.

While reviewing the broken commit I realized that I've left some
outdated comments about the locking behind. Fix those too.
