Subject: [PATCH 5.4 018/411] fbcon: Consistently protect deferred_takeover with console_lock()

From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@...ll.ch>

[ Upstream commit 43553559121ca90965b572cf8a1d6d0fd618b449 ]

This shouldn't be a problem in practice since until we've actually
taken over the console there's nothing we've registered with the
console/vt subsystem, so the exit/unbind path that check this can't
do the wrong thing. But it's confusing, so fix it by moving it a tad
later.
