fb: rework locking to fix lock ordering on takeover
commit 50e244cc793d511b86adea24972f3a7264cae114 upstream. Adjust the console layer to allow a take over call where the caller already holds the locks. Make the fb layer lock in order. This is partly a band aid, the fb layer is terminally confused about the locking rules it uses for its notifiers it seems.
