We need to prevent that users configure a screen size which is smaller than the
currently selected font size. Otherwise rendering chars on the screen will
access memory outside the graphics memory region.

This patch adds a new function fbcon_modechange_possible() which
implements this check and which later may be extended with other checks
if necessary.  The new function is called from the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO
ioctl handler in fbmem.c, which will return -EINVAL if userspace asked
for a too small screen size.

This means the frame buffer device is not used as a text console
(i.e. the text console is mapped to a different frame buffer device),
hence it should return success.

EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()?
No idea why most of fbcon uses the non-GPL variant.
