Subject: [PATCH v2] vc_screen: break from vcs_read() while loop if vcs_vc() returns NULL

If vcs_vc() returns NULL in vcs_read(), break from while loop if partial
read, else if no reads have been done, go to unlock_out and return -ENXIO.
In addition, change the goto unlock_out after vcs_size() to a break
to conform to the break handling after vcs_vc().

Fixes: ac751efa6a0d ("console: rename acquire/release_console_sem() to console_lock/unlock()")
