drm/fb-helper: generic: Don't take module ref for fbcon
It's now safe to let fbcon unbind automatically on fbdev unregister. The crash problem was fixed in commit 2122b40580dd ("fbdev: fbcon: Fix unregister crash when more than one framebuffer") Signed-off-by: Noralf Trønnes <noralf@tronnes.org> Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20190210131039.52664-13-noralf@tronnes.org
