fb_set_suspend() must be called with the console semaphore held, which
means the code path coming in here will first take the console_lock() and
then call lock_fb_info().

However several framebuffer ioctl commands acquire these locks in reverse
order (lock_fb_info() and then console_lock()).  This gives rise to
potential AB-BA deadlock.

Fix this by changing the order of acquisition in the ioctl commands that
make use of console_lock().
