[PATCH] fbdev: Make fb-notify a no-op if CONFIG_FB=n

[PATCH] fbdev: Make fb-notify a no-op if CONFIG_FB=n

[Ezequiel Garcia]

There's no point in having support for framebuffer notifications
is CONFIG_FB is disabled. This commit adds the necessary stubs
for code to link properly when CONFIG_FB=n and moves fb-notify.o
to be built only when CONFIG_FB=y.
