Subject: [PATCH] vt: avoid BUG_ON in con_shutdown when con_open returns with error
In current vt code, if con_open fails we can end up triggering the
BUG_ON in con_shutdown as shown by the following trace:

---[ end trace 58cc84d841200747 ]---
This happens because if con_open doesn't succeed, it doesn't set
tty->driver_data, returning an error in tty->ops->open inside tty_open,
which makes tty_release being called later. And as shown in the trace
above tty_release ends up calling con_shutdown with an unset driver_data,
triggering the BUG_ON.
The solution here is to set the shutdown callback only after we know the
con_open will return without error. In the case without shutdown set,
queue_release_one_tty will call tty_shutdown for us, so it's not a
problem not calling con_shutdown.
This fix is in vt only, and from what I see there is no other place we
can fix it (we may have tty_operations users like pty which don't want a
tty_shutdown when tty->ops->open fails). Also from a quick look, this is
a vt specific failure.
