[PATCH v4 2/3] vt: fix locking around vt_bind/vt_unbind
From: Imre Deak
Date: Mon Dec 15 2014 - 17:16:16 EST
Currently vt_bind and vt_unbind access at least the con_driver object
and registered_con_driver array without holding the console lock. Fix
this by locking around the whole function in each case.
