[PATCH v2 2/3] drm/ast: Map fbdev framebuffer while it's being displayed

The generic fbdev emulation will map and unmap the framebuffer's memory
if required. As consoles are most often updated while being on screen,
we map the fbdev buffer while it's being displayed. This avoids frequent
map/unmap operations in the fbdev code. The original fbdev code in ast
used the same trick to improve performance.

v2:
	* fix typo in comment
