bug#13730: 24.3.50; Diff from Bzr-Log-View not highlighted

Sorry, that's a red herring, it has nothing to do with font-lock-change-mode.

Now that turning a minor mode off during a major mode function
disables the corresponding global minor mode, turning the minor mode
back on should re-enable the global minor mode, as in the patch below.

(In Emacs trunk, whitespace mode is turned on in diff mode by a
directory-local variable. Thus the function `whitepace-turn-on' is
called from inside the diff-mode major mode function; but
`whitespace-turn-on' turns font lock off and turns it back on again.)
