Subject: [PATCH 3.16 061/328] udlfb: make a local copy of fb_ops

3.16.62-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@...hat.com>

commit 2c29cfc3eaf11779176bf41475cfca49bccba11c upstream.

The defio subsystem overwrites the method fb_osp->mmap. That method is
stored in module's static data - and that means that if we have multiple
diplaylink adapters, they will over write each other's method.

In order to avoid interference between multiple adapters, we copy the
fb_ops structure to a device-local memory.
