[PATCH 1/1] fbdev/core: Disable console-lock warnings when fb.lockless_register_fb is set

If the console is unlocked during registration, the console subsystem
generates significant amounts of warnings, which obfuscate actual
debugging messages. Setting ignore_console_lock_warning while debugging
console registration avoid the noise.
