[Devel] [PATCH RH7 1/2] vt: selection, push console lock down

[Evgenii Shatokhin]

From: Jiri Slaby <jslaby at suse.cz>

We need to nest the console lock in sel_lock, so we have to push it down
a bit. Fortunately, the callers of set_selection_* just lock the console
lock around the function call. So moving it down is easy.

In the next patch, we switch the order.

This is a backport of mainline commit 4b70dd57a15d2f4685ac6e38056bad93e81e982f:

* speakup-related hunk was dropped because that driver does not use
set_selection(): it is not exported in this kernel version;

* the affected code is in set_selection() rather than set_selection_kernel().
