fbcon: Fix memory leak in fbcon_exit().
kmemleak reported a memory leak as below. unreferenced object 0xffff880036ca84c0 (size 16): comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294877407 (age 4434.633s) hex dump (first 16 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ff ff ................ backtrace: [<ffffffff814ed01e>] kmemleak_alloc+0x4e/0xb0 [<ffffffff8118913c>] __kmalloc+0x1fc/0x290 [<ffffffff81302c9e>] bit_cursor+0x24e/0x6c0 [<ffffffff812ff2f4>] fbcon_cursor+0x154/0x1d0 [<ffffffff813675d8>] hide_cursor+0x28/0xa0 [<ffffffff81368acf>] update_region+0x6f/0x90 [<ffffffff81300268>] fbcon_switch+0x518/0x550 [<ffffffff813695b9>] redraw_screen+0x189/0x240 [<ffffffff8136a0e0>] do_bind_con_driver+0x360/0x380 [<ffffffff8136a6e4>] do_take_over_console+0x114/0x1c0 [<ffffffff812fdc83>] do_fbcon_takeover+0x63/0xd0 [<ffffffff813023e5>] fbcon_event_notify+0x605/0x720 [<ffffffff81501dcc>] notifier_call_chain+0x4c/0x70 [<ffffffff81087f8d>] __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x4d/0x70 [<ffffffff81087fc6>] blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x16/0x20 [<ffffffff812f201b>] fb_notifier_call_chain+0x1b/0x20 In this case ops->cursor_state.mask is allocated in bit_cursor() but not freed in fbcon_exit(). So, fbcon_exit() needs to free buffer in its process. In the case, fbcon_exit() was called from fbcon_deinit() when driver called remove_conflicting_framebuffers().
