fbdev: fix info->lock deadlock in fbcon_event_notify()

fb_notifier_call_chain() is called with info->lock held, i.e.  in
do_fb_ioctl() => FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO => fb_set_var() and the some
notifier callbacks, like fbcon_event_notify(), try to re-acquire
info->lock again.

Remove the lock/unlock_fb_info() in all the framebuffer notifier
callbacks' and be sure to always call fb_notifier_call_chain() with
info->lock held.
