    fbcon: use the cursor blink interval provided by vt

a PPC64LE kernel fails to boot when fbcon_add_cursor_timer uses an
uninitialized ops->cur_blink_jiffies. Prevent by initializing
in fbcon_init before the call to info->fbops->fb_set_par.

Any reason that hasn't hit upstream (and stable) yet ? This is pretty

It's currently in the tty-linus branch of Greg's tty tree, so should be 
included in the next rc.
