[PATCH v2] fb: udlfb: fix scheduling while atomic.

[Alexander Holler]

The console functions are using spinlocks while calling fb-driver ops
but udlfb waits for a semaphore in many ops. This results in the BUG
"scheduling while atomic". One of those call flows is e.g.

vt_console_print() (spinlock printing_lock)
	(...)
	dlfb_ops_imageblit()
                        dlfb_handle_damage()
                                dlfb_get_urb()
					down_timeout(semaphore)
BUG: scheduling while atomic
(...)
vt_console_print() (release spinlock printing_lock)

Fix this through a workqueue for dlfb_handle_damage().
