    [PATCH] vt: refactor console SAK processing
    
    This does several things.
    - It moves looking up of the current foreground console into process
      context where we can safely take the semaphore that protects this
      operation.
    - It uses the new flavor of work queue processing.
    - This generates a factor of do_SAK, __do_SAK that runs immediately.
    - This calls __do_SAK with the console semaphore held ensuring nothing
      else happens to the console while we process the SAK operation.
    - With the console SAK processing moved into process context this
      patch removes the xchg operations that I used to attempt to attomically
      update struct pid, because of the strange locking used in the SAK processing.
      With SAK using the normal console semaphore nothing special is needed.
