Subject: [PATCH 06/11] fblog: open fb on registration
This opens the framebuffer upon registration so we can use it for
drawing-operations. On unregistration we close it again.
While opening/closing or accessing the fb in any other way, we must hold
the fb-mutex. However, since the notifiers are often called with the mutex
already held, we cannot lock it _after_ taking the
fblog_registration_lock. Therefore, we require the caller to make sure the
fb-mutex is held.
