[PATCH] vt: refactor console SAK processing
This does several things.
- It moves looking up of the current foreground console into process
context where we can safely take the semaphore that protects this
operation.
- It uses the new flavor of work queue processing.
- This generates a factor of do_SAK, __do_SAK that runs immediately.
- This calls __do_SAK with the console semaphore held ensuring nothing
else happens to the console while we process the SAK operation.
- With the console SAK processing moved into process context this
patch removes the xchg operations that I used to attempt to attomically
update struct pid, because of the strange locking used in the SAK processing.
With SAK using the normal console semaphore nothing special is needed.
