fbdev: fix fb_compat_ioctl() deadlocks
commit 3e680aae ("fb: convert lock/unlock_kernel() into local fb mutex") introduced several deadlocks in the fb_compat_ioctl() path, as mutex_lock() doesn't allow recursion, unlike lock_kernel(). This broke frame buffer applications on 64-bit systems with a 32-bit userland. commit 120a3747 ("framebuffer compat_ioctl deadlock") fixed one of the deadlocks. This patch fixes the remaining deadlocks: - Revert commit 120a3747, - Extract the core logic of fb_ioctl() into a new function do_fb_ioctl(), - Change all callsites of fb_ioctl() where info->lock is already held to call do_fb_ioctl() instead, - Add sparse annotations to all routines that take info->lock.
