vt: Fix up unregistration of vt drivers
A bunch of issues: - We should not kick out the default console (which is tracked in conswitchp), so check for that. - Add better error codes so callers can differentiate between "something went wrong" and "your driver isn't registered already". i915 needs that so it doesn't fall over when reloading the driver and hence vga_con is already unregistered. - There's a mess with the driver flags: What we need to check for is that the driver isn't used any more, i.e. unbound completely (FLAG_INIT). And not whether it's the boot console or not (which is the only one which doesn't have FLAG_MODULE). Otherwise there's no way to kick out the boot console, which i915 wants to do to prevent havoc with vga_con interferring (which tends to hang machines).
