fb: avoid possible deadlock caused by fb_set_suspend

A lock ordering issue can cause deadlocks: in framebuffer/console code,
all needed struct fb_info locks are taken before acquire_console_sem(),
in places which need to take console semaphore.

But fb_set_suspend is always called with console semaphore held, and
inside it we call lock_fb_info which gets the fb_info lock, inverse
locking order of what the rest of the code does. This causes a real
deadlock issue, when we write to state fb sysfs attribute (which calls
fb_set_suspend) while a framebuffer is being unregistered by
remove_conflicting_framebuffers, as can be shown by following show
blocked state trace on a test program which loads i915 and runs another
forked processes writing to state attribute:

fb-test2 which reproduces above is available on kernel.org bug #26232.
To solve this issue, avoid calling lock_fb_info inside fb_set_suspend,
and move it out to where needed (callers of fb_set_suspend must call
lock_fb_info before if needed). So far, the only place which needs to
call lock_fb_info is store_fbstate, all other places which calls
fb_set_suspend are suspend/resume hooks that should not need the lock as
they should be run only when processes are already frozen in
suspend/resume.
