[PATCH] fbdev: Fix crash if fb_set_var() called before register_framebuffer()

The field info->modelist is initialized during register_framebuffer.  This
field is also referred to in fb_set_var().  Thus a call to fb_set_var()
before register_framebuffer() will cause a crash.  A few drivers do this,
notably controlfb.  (This might fix reports of controlfb crashing in
powermacs).
