fb_set_var requires we hold the fb_info lock. Or at least this now matches what the ioctl does ... Note that ps3fb and sh_mobile_lcdcfb are busted in different ways here, but I will not fix them up. Also in practice this isn't a big deal, because really variable fbdev state is actually protected by console_lock (because fbcon just doesn't bother with lock_fb_info() at all), and lock_fb_info protecting anything is really just a neat lie. But that's a much bigger fish to fry.
