fb: reorder the lock sequence to fix potential dead lock

Following commits:

50e244cc79 fb: rework locking to fix lock ordering on takeover
e93a9a8687 fb: Yet another band-aid for fixing lockdep mess
054430e773 fbcon: fix locking harder

reworked locking to fix related lock ordering on takeover, and introduced console_lock
into fbmem, but it seems that the new lock sequence(fb_info->lock ---> console_lock)
is against with the one in console_callback(console_lock ---> fb_info->lock), and leads to
a potential dead lock as following:

[  601.079000]                                lock(&fb_info->lock);

[  601.079000]   lock(&fb_info->lock);
[  601.079000]
 *** DEADLOCK ***

so we reorder the lock sequence the same as it in console_callback() to
avoid this issue. And following Tomi's suggestion, fix these similar
issues all in fb subsystem.
