[34-longterm 047/209] drivers/char/vt_ioctl.c: fix VT_OPENQRY error value

[Paul Gortmaker]

From: Graham Gower <graham.gower@xxxxxxxxx>

  =====================================================================
  | This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. |
  | If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.|
  =====================================================================

commit 1e0ad2881d50becaeea70ec696a80afeadf944d2 upstream.

When all VT's are in use, VT_OPENQRY casts -1 to unsigned char before
returning it to userspace as an int.  VT255 is not the next available
console.
