Following on Herton's patch "fb: avoid possible deadlock caused by
fb_set_suspend" which moves lock_fb_info() out of fb_set_suspend()
to its callers, correct sh-mobile's locking around call to
fb_set_suspend() and the same sort of deaklocks with console_lock()
due to order of taking the lock.

console_lock() must be taken while fb_info is already locked and fb_info
must be locked while calling fb_set_suspend().

Hi Florian,
quoted
On the other hand I just noticed the original patch didn't have
Bruno's Signed-off and a commit message was missing. So may I ask you,
Bruno, to add your Signed-off or preferably resend the version tested
by Guennadi in the appropriate patch format.
Here it is with commit message and the Signed-off-by's.
Applied and added stable as Cc as I think this should be applied as well
whenever Herton's patch is applied.


Thanks,

Florian Tobias Schandinat
