udlfb: fix sleeping inside spinlock
If a framebuffer device is used as a console, the rendering calls (copyarea, fillrect, imageblit) may be done with the console spinlock held. On udlfb, these function call dlfb_handle_damage that takes a blocking semaphore before acquiring an URB. In order to fix the bug, this patch changes the calls copyarea, fillrect and imageblit to offload USB work to a workqueue. A side effect of this patch is 3x improvement in console scrolling speed because the device doesn't have to be updated after each copyarea call.
