[PATCH] fbcon: Initialize new driver when old driver is released

If machine has more than 1 driver installed, and they all drive the same
hardware, it's possible that the driver's fb_release() method will attempt to
restore the hardware state to the initial state.  This will leave the new
driver in an undefined state.  To prevent this problem, initialize the new
driver by calling fb_set_par() when the old driver is released by fbcon.
