Stephane Doyon 2d237c6365 [PATCH] Console blanking locking fix
I've had WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED warnings when calling TIOCLINUX
TIOCL_BLANKSCREEN and TIOCL_UNBLANKSCREEN.

(I'm blind and I use a braille display.  I use those functions to blank my
laptop's screen so people don't read it, and hopefully to conserve power.)

The warnings are from these places:
do_blank_screen at drivers/char/vt.c:2754 (Not tainted)
save_screen at drivers/char/vt.c:575 (Not tainted)
do_unblank_screen at drivers/char/vt.c:2822 (Not tainted)
set_palette at drivers/char/vt.c:2908 (Not tainted)

At a glance I would think the following patch ought to fix that.  Tested on
one machine.  Could you please tell me if this is correct and/or forward
the patch where appropriate...
