Use the "ctrl+alt+Fn" key combination to switch the system from tty to
desktop or switch the system from desktop to tty. After the switch is
completed, it is found that the state of the keyboard lock is
inconsistent with the state of the keyboard Led light.The reasons are
as follows:

* The desktop environment (Xorg and other services) is bound to a tty
  (assuming it is tty1), and the kb->kbdmode attribute value of tty1
  will be set to VC_OFF. According to the current code logic, in the
  desktop environment, the values of ledstate and kb->ledflagstate
  of tty1 will not be modified anymore, so they are always 0.

* When switching between each tty, the final value of ledstate set by
  the previous tty is compared with the kb->ledflagstate value of the
  current tty to determine whether to set the state of the keyboard
  light. The process of switching between desktop and tty is also the
  process of switching between tty1 and other ttys. There are two
  situations:

  - (1) In the desktop environment, tty1 will not set the ledstate,
  which will cause when switching from the desktop to other ttys,
  if the desktop lights up the keyboard's led, after the switch is
  completed, the keyboard's led light will always be on;

  - (2) When switching from another tty to the desktop, this
  mechanism will trigger tty1 to set the led state. If other tty
  lights up the led of the keyboard before switching to the desktop,
  the led will be forcibly turned off. This situation should
  be avoided.

* The current patch is to solve these problems: by judging the
  kb->kbdmode value of the current tty, it is determined whether
  the led state is forced to be set when the VT switch is completed.

 v18:
 (1) Modify the description information.
 (2) The judgment condition of kb->kbdmode should be "!=",
 correct it.
 (3) Modify code indentation.
