There was a path going into set_con2fb_path if an fb driver was
already registered, I just pushed the locking out further on anyone
going in there.

it boots on my EFI macbook here.
I cherry picked those patches to my tree, and the full series no longer triggers a lockdep warning.
It also no longer locks up during modprobing or vga-switcheroo either.

QA reported spurious failures in some kms_flip tests and lockdep
splats, somehow both are fixed with the locking. I'm a bit confused
how these issues could cause failures in the flip tests, but alas:
