Subject: [PATCH 10/10] fblog: add "activate" module parameter

This new parameter controls whether fblog is automatically activated when
it is loaded. This defaults to "true".

We can now compile with CONFIG_VT=n and CONFIG_FBLOG=y and control fblog
with fblog.activate=0/1 on the kernel command line to enable/disable
debugging.
