[PATCH] fbcon: Fix delayed takeover locking

I messed up the delayed takover path in the locking conversion in
6e7da3af008b ("fbcon: Move console_lock for register/unlink/unregister").

Fix it by re-extracting the lockless function and using it in the
delayed takeover path, where we need to hold the lock already to
iterate over the list of already registered fb. Well the current code
still is broken in there (since the list is protected by a
registration_lock, which we can't take here because it nests the other
way round with console_lock), but in the future this will be a list
protected by console_lock when this is all sorted out.
