So ever since syzbot discovered fbcon, we have solid proof that it's
full of bugs. And often the solution is to just delete code and remove
features, e.g.  50145474 ("fbcon: remove soft scrollback code").

Now the problem is that most modern-ish drivers really only treat
fbcon as an dumb kernel console until userspace takes over, and Oops
printer for some emergencies. Looking at drm drivers and the basic
vesa/efi fbdev drivers shows that only 3 drivers support any kind of
acceleration:

- nouveau, seems to be enabled by default
- omapdrm, when a DMM remapper exists using remapper rewriting for
  y/xpanning
- gma500, but that is getting deleted now for the GTT remapper trick,
  and the accelerated copyarea never set the FBINFO_HWACCEL_COPYAREA
  flag, so unused (and could be deleted already I think).

No other driver supportes accelerated fbcon. And fbcon is the only
user of this accel code (it's not exposed as uapi through ioctls),
which means we could garbage collect fairly enormous amounts of code
if we kill this.

Plus because syzbot only runs on virtual hardware, and none of the
drivers for that have acceleration, we'd remove a huge gap in testing.
And there's no other even remotely comprehensive testing aside from
syzbot.

This patch here just disables the acceleration code by always
redrawing when scrolling. The plan is that once this has been merged
for well over a year in released kernels, we can start to go around
and delete a lot of code.

v2:
- Drop a few more unused local variables, somehow I missed the
compiler warnings (Sam)
- Fix typo in comment (Jiri)
- add a todo entry for the cleanup (Thomas)

v3: Remove more unused variables (0day)
