  vt: Fix deadlock on scroll-lock (2012-05-01 14:01:28 -0400)

----------------------------------------------------------------
TTY fix for 3.4-rc5

This is a deadlock bugfix that was easy to hit, and that the vt layer lock
rework got wrong, so it reverts the logic back to the way it was in 3.3 and
earlier kernels to prevent problems.

Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>
