vcs: poll(): cope with a deallocated vt
When VT_DISALLOCATE is used on a vt, user space waiting with poll() on the corresponding /dev/vcs device is not awakened. This is now fixed by returning POLLHUP|POLLERR to user space. Also, in the normal screen update case, we don't set POLLERR anymore as POLLPRI alone is a much more logical response in a non-error situation, saving some confusion on the user space side. The only known user app making use of poll() on /dev/vcs* is BRLTTY which is known to cope with that change already, so the risk of breakage is pretty much nonexistent.
