[PATCH 1/2] drm/fb-helper: Explain unload sequence a bit better

[Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>]

While reviewing Chris' patches to properly cancel our async workers I
checked that this happens after the fbdev is already unregistered.
That's the case, but I found a small gap in our docs, fill that in.

Note that I don't explain what release_fbi does, because that function
will disappear in the next patch ...
