fbcon: Avoid deleting a timer in IRQ context

Browse Source 
Commit 27a4c827c3 ("fbcon: use the cursor blink interval provided by
vt") unconditionally removes the cursor blink timer. Unfortunately that
wreaks havoc under some circumstances. An easily reproducible way is to
use both the framebuffer console and a debug serial port as the console
output for kernel messages (e.g. "console=ttyS0 console=tty1" on the
kernel command-line. Upon boot this triggers a warning from within the
del_timer_sync() function because it is called from IRQ context:

After which the system starts spewing all kinds of weird and seemingly
unrelated error messages.

This commit fixes this by restoring the condition under which the call
to fbcon_del_cursor_timer() happens.
