[PATCH v2 2/2] fbcon: add VT notifier for VT_UPDATE event

[David Lechner <david@lechnology.com>]

This adds notifier callback for VT events. We are currently interested
in the VT_UPDATE event, which indicates there was some major change to
the VT. This is used to redraw the margins. For example when the console
is inverted we receive the VT_UPDATE event. The color of the margins depend
on the inverted state, so it is necessary redraw the margins at this time.
