    vgacon: Fix & cleanup refcounting · 0f2893f0
    Takashi Iwai authored
    The vgacon driver prepares a two element array of uni_pagedir_loc and
    uses the second item as its own reference counter for sharing the
    uni_pagedir.  And the code assumes blindly that the second item is
    available if the assigned vc_uni_pagedir isn't the standard one, which
    might be wrong (although currently it's so).
    
    This patch fixes that wrong assumption, and gives a slight cleanup
    along with it: namely, instead of array, just give the uni_pagedir_loc
    and a separate refcount variable.  It makes the code a bit more
    understandable at first glance.
