Daniel Vetter 1f4ed2fb01 fbcon: Remove fbcon_has_exited
This is unused code since

commit 6104c37094

    fbcon: Make fbcon a built-time depency for fbdev

when fbcon was made a compile-time static dependency of fbdev. We
can't exit fbcon anymore without exiting fbdev first, which only works
if all fbdev drivers have unloaded already. Hence this is all dead
code.

v2: I missed that fbcon_exit is also called from con_deinit stuff, and
there fbcon_has_exited prevents double-cleanup. But we can fix that
by properly resetting con2fb_map[] to all -1, which is used everywhere
else to indicate "no fb_info allocate to this console". With that
change the double-cleanup (which resulted in a module refcount underflow,
among other things) is prevented.

Aside: con2fb_map is a signed char, so don't register more than 128 fb_info
or hilarity will ensue.

v3: CI showed me that I still didn't fully understand what's going on
here. The leaked references in con2fb_map have been used upon
rebinding the fb console in fbcon_init. It worked because fbdev
unregistering still cleaned out con2fb_map, and reset it to info_idx.
If the last fbdev driver unregistered, then it also reset info_idx,
and unregistered the fbcon driver.

Imo that's all a bit fragile, so let's keep the con2fb_map reset to
-1, and in fbcon_init pick info_idx if we're starting fresh. That
means unbinding and rebinding will cleanse the mapping, but why are
you doing that if you want to retain the mapping, so should be fine.

Also, I think info_idx == -1 is impossible in fbcon_init - we
unregister the fbcon in that case. So catch&warn about that.

v4: Drop unecessary assignment - I forgot to delete the first
assignment of info in fbcon_init.

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.
