[PATCH] drm/fb-helper: Only reject FB changes if FB_MISC_USER_EVENT is set

From: Michel DÃnzer

Otherwise this can also prevent modesets e.g. for switching VTs.

FB_MISC_USER_EVENT is set when the request originates from userspace,
which is what we're interested in here according to the DRM_DEBUG
output.

Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/99841
Fixes: 865afb11949e ("drm/fb-helper: reject any changes to the fbdev")

I'm not entirely sure why the values can not match for a VT switch. If
anybody thinks this just papers over the real issue, please speak up.
