We use it later on, so we definitely still need info. But I indeed forgot
to delete the initial assignment of info at the function start. Is that
what you mean here?

Yup, see how fb_registered/unregistered manage this. I think that part
actually all works out correctly (as long as everyone is holding
console_lock). But it's a bit unpretty that fbcon digs around in the raw
registered_fb array instead of going through the refcounted helpers, and
having a full refcounted pointer. Much easier to convince yourself of that
than chasing indices assigments all over imo.
