is just notify return value. The ret of fb_notifier_call_chain should is
restored to error value from notify return value using
notifier_to_errno().
understand the notifier_calls would be required to encode the return value with
notifier_from_errno. This does not happen at the moment for fb clients, for
example fbcon_event_notify in drivers/video/console/fbcon.c, so this patch would
screw up the return values, I think.
