We didn't take the kernel_fb_helper_lock mutex, which protects that
code. While at it, simplify the code
- inline the function (originally shared with kgdb I think)
- drop the error tracking and all the complications
- drop the pointless early out, it served nothing

Is there a specific reason for removing that warning? Even if it doesn't
show up on screen, is it not helpful in the kernel's log?

In any case, the rest looks good.

I just found it really unhelpful, if you're trying to force-show
fbcon, what's the point if it doesn't work out? The user will notice.
Also, if we're really in a dire situation where you want this, in my
experience there's a bunch of random other reasons why this can fail,
mostly when the work we have to schedule for locking reasons never
runs. So it's also unreliable.

Thanks for taking a look, I'll apply it.
