[PATCH] tty locking on resize
The current kernel serializes console resizes but does not serialize the
resize against the tty structure updates. This means that while two
parallel resizes cannot mess up the console you can get incorrect results
reported.
Secondly while doing this I added vc_lock_resize() to lock and resize the
console. This leaves all knowledge of the console_sem in the vt/console
driver and kicks it out of the tty layer, which is good
Thirdly while doing this I decided I couldn't stand "disallocate" any
longer so I switched it to "deallocate".
