Subject: [PATCH v5 1/2] fbcon: store cursor blink interval in fbcon_ops

fbcon toggles cursor display state every 200 milliseconds when blinking.
Since users prefer different toggle intervals, prepare to expose the
interval via sysfs by moving it to fbdev_ops and setting the default
to 200 milliseconds.
