fb: add hooks to handle KDB enter/exit

Add fb ops to handle enter/exit of the kernel debugger.  If present, the
fb core will register them with KGDB and they'll be called when the
debugger is entered and exited.  The new functions are responsible for
switching to an appropriate debug framebuffer and restoring the
interrupted state at exit time.
