[PATCH] vt: fix potential race in VT_WAITACTIVE handler



On a multiprocessor machine the VT_WAITACTIVE ioctl call may return 0 if
fg_console has already been updated in redraw_screen() but the console
switch itself hasn't been completed.  Fix this by checking fg_console in
vt_waitactive() with the console sem held.
