drm/fb-helper: Add fb_deferred_io support

Browse source

This adds deferred io support to drm_fb_helper.
The fbdev framebuffer changes are flushed using the callback
(struct drm_framebuffer *)->funcs->dirty() by a dedicated worker
ensuring that it always runs in process context.

For those wondering why we need to be able to handle atomic calling
contexts: Both panic paths and cursor code and fbcon blanking can run
from atomic. See
