fbdev: Prevent possible use-after-free in fb_release()
Most fbdev drivers have issues with the fb_info lifetime, because call to framebuffer_release() from their driver's .remove callback, rather than doing from fbops.fb_destroy callback. Doing that will destroy the fb_info too early, while references to it may still exist, leading to a use-after-free error. To prevent this, check the fb_info reference counter when attempting to kfree the data structure in framebuffer_release(). That will leak it but at least will prevent the mentioned error.
