Doesn't look too bad (fingers crossed)

commit 8f965b0816d98ed535fdfccc3e50d84818e9c43b
Author: Alan Cox <a...@linux.intel.com>

fb: Rework locking to fix lock ordering on takeover
Adjust the console layer to allow a take over call where the caller already
holds the locks. Make the fb layer lock in order.
This s partly a band aid, the fb layer is terminally confused about the
locking rules it uses for its notifiers it seems.
