vt: fix race in vt_waitactive()
pm_restore_console() is called from the suspend/resume path, and this
calls vt_move_to_console(), which calls vt_waitactive().
There's a race in this path which causes the process which requests the
suspend to sleep indefinitely waiting for an event which already
happened:
P1 P2
vt_move_to_console()
set_console()
schedule_console_callback()
vt_waitactive()
check n == fg_console +1
console_callback()
switch_screen()
vt_event_post() // no waiters
vt_event_wait() // forever
Fix the race by ensuring we're registered for the event before we check
if it's already completed.
