commit 6fd33a3333c7916689b8f051a185defe4dd515b0 upstream.

This is an oversight from dc5bdb68b5b3 ("drm/fb-helper: Fix vt
restore") - I failed to realize that nasty userspace could set this.

It's not pretty to mix up kernel-internal and userspace uapi flags
like this, but since the entire fb_var_screeninfo structure is uapi
we'd need to either add a new parameter to the ->fb_set_par callback
and fb_set_par() function, which has a _lot_ of users. Or some other
fairly ugly side-channel int fb_info. Neither is a pretty prospect.

Instead just correct the issue at hand by filtering out this
kernel-internal flag in the ioctl handling code.
