Daniel Vetter d5392c1c64 fbmem: Reject FB_ACTIVATE_KD_TEXT from userspace
commit 6fd33a3333 upstream.

This is an oversight from dc5bdb68b5 ("drm/fb-helper: Fix vt
restore") - I failed to realize that nasty userspace could set this.

It's not pretty to mix up kernel-internal and userspace uapi flags
like this, but since the entire fb_var_screeninfo structure is uapi
we'd need to either add a new parameter to the ->fb_set_par callback
and fb_set_par() function, which has a _lot_ of users. Or some other
fairly ugly side-channel int fb_info. Neither is a pretty prospect.

Instead just correct the issue at hand by filtering out this
kernel-internal flag in the ioctl handling code.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
