dlfb_setup_modes() frees info->modelist with fb_destroy_modelist() and
rebuilds it, but fbcon holds raw pointers into that list in
fb_display[i].mode and nothing un-publishes them the way
do_unregister_framebuffer() and store_modes() do with
fbcon_delete_modelist(). The function does refuse to install a new mode
while the framebuffer has users (dlfb->fb_count != 0), but only after the
list is already destroyed. Reached from the 0666 "edid" sysfs attribute,
an unprivileged write to /sys/class/graphics/fb0/edid therefore fails with
-EINVAL and still leaves every fb_display[i].mode dangling; the next
console switch reads the freed fb_videomode in fb_videomode_to_var().

Test fb_count before touching the list. fbcon takes a reference through
fbcon_open(), so that condition covers exactly the states in which
fb_display[] points into the list, and the errno returned to userspace is
unchanged.
