[PATCH] Fix console blanking

[Ville Syrjälä <syrjala@sci.fi>]

Current console blanking code is broken. It will first do a normal 
blank, then start the VESA blank timer if vesa_off_interval != 0, and 
then proceed to do the VESA blanking directly. After the timer expires 
it will do the VESA blanking a second time. Also the vesa_powerdown() 
function doesn't allow all VESA modes to be used.

With this patch the behaviour is:
1. Blank: vesa_off_interval != 0 -> Do normal blank
          vesa_off_interval == 0 -> Do VESA blank
2. Start the VESA blank timer if vesa_off_interval != 0 and
   vesa_power_mode != 0.

It also gets rid of the limiting vesa_powerdown() function.
