    fbdev: Drop FBINFO_CAN_FORCE_OUTPUT flag · 04cfcc7a

    This was only added for the drm's fbdev emulation support, so that it
    would try harder to show the Oops.
    
    Unfortunately this never really worked reliably, and in practice ended
    up pushing the real Oops off the screen due to plentyfull locking,
    sleep-while-atomic and other issues. So we removed all that support
    from the fbdev emulation a while back. Aside: We've also removed the
    kgdb support, for similar reasons.
    
    Since it's such a small patch I figured I don't split this up into the
    usual 3-phase removal.
