fix console change race exposed by CFS
The new behaviour of CFS exposes a race which occurs if a switch is
requested when vt_mode.mode is VT_PROCESS.
The process with vc->vt_pid is signaled before vc->vt_newvt is set.
This causes the switch to fail when triggered by the monitoing process
because the target is still -1.
[ If the signal sending fails, the subsequent "reset_vc(vc)" will then
reset vt_newvt to -1, so this works for that case too. - Linus ]
