    fbcon: Make fbcon a built-time depency for fbdev

we have a static dependency between fbcon and fbdev, and we can
replace the indirection through the notifier chain with a function
call.

v2: Sam Ravnborg noticed that mach-pxa/am200epd.c has a notifier too,
and listens to this.

...

Looking at the code it seems to wait for some fb to show up, so that
it can get the framebuffer base address from the fb_info struct. I
suspect his is some firmware fbdev. Then it uses that information to
let the real fbdev driver (metronomefb.c by the looks) get at the
framebuffer memory.

This doesn't looke like it's easy to fix (except by deleting the
entire thing, seems untouched since 2008, we might be able to get away
with that), so let's just stuff a few #ifdef into fb.h and fbmem.c and
cry over them for a bit.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
