The patch a6dbe4427559 ("vt: perform safe console erase in the right
order") introduced a bug. The conditional do_update_region() was
replaced by a call to update_region() that does contain the conditional
already, but with unwanted extra side effects such as restoring the cursor
drawing.
In order to reproduce the bug:
- use framebuffer console with the AMDGPU driver
- type "links" to start the console www browser
- press 'q' and space to exit links
Now the cursor will be permanently visible in the center of the
screen. It will stay there until something overwrites it.
The bug goes away if we change update_region() back to the conditional
do_update_region().
