When kernel messages are printed to the console, they appear blank on
the unicode screen. This is because vt_console_print() is lacking a call
to vc_uniscr_putc(). However the later function assumes vc->vc_x is
always up to date when called, which is not the case here as
vt_console_print() uses it to mark the beginning of the display update.
This patch reworks (and simplifies) vt_console_print() so that vc->vc_x
is always valid and keeps the start of display update in a local variable
instead, which finally allows for adding the missing vc_uniscr_putc()
call.

Every invocation of notify_write() and notify_update() is performed
under the console lock, except for one case. Let's fix that.

The /dev/vcsa* devices have a fixed char-sized header that stores the
screen geometry and cursor location. Let's make sure it doesn't contain
random garbage when those values exceed 255. If ever it becomes necessary
to convey larger screen info to user space then a larger header in the
not-yet-implemented /dev/vcsua* devices should be considered.

When VT_DISALLOCATE is used on a vt, user space waiting with poll() on
the corresponding /dev/vcs device is not awakened. This is now fixed by
returning POLLHUP|POLLERR to user space.
Also, in the normal screen update case, we don't set POLLERR anymore as
POLLPRI alone is a much more logical response in a non-error situation,
saving some confusion on the user space side. The only known user app
making use of poll() on /dev/vcs* is BRLTTY which is known to cope with
that change already, so the risk of breakage is pretty much nonexistent.

That patch introduced a small unwanted behavior change that I intend to
fix in a follow-up patch (it will be tagged [PATCH 7/6]). I prefer to go
with a separate patch rather than respinning this one as this gives me
the opportunity to separately document said behavior.

We use POLLPRI not POLLIN to wait for data with poll() as there is
never any incoming data stream per se. Let's use the same semantic
with fasync() for consistency, including the fact that a vt may go away.
No known user space ever relied on the SIGIO reason so far, let alone
FASYNC, so the risk of breakage is pretty much nonexistent.
