    ms/vt: selection, push console lock down #PSBM-120640
    
    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().
