Subject: fbcon: don't draw cursor when it's disabled
From: Michal Januszewski <spock@xxxxxxxxxx>
When the cursor and echo are disabled on the current console, pressing a
key will cause a black rectangle to be painted in the cursor's position.
Fix this by not touching the framebuffer in fbcon_cursor() when the
cursor is off.
