fix console change race exposed by CFS



The new behaviour of CFS exposes a race which occurs if a switch is
requested when vt_mode.mode is VT_PROCESS.

The process with vc->vt_pid is signaled before vc->vt_newvt is set.
This causes the switch to fail when triggered by the monitoing process
because the target is still -1.

[ If the signal sending fails, the subsequent "reset_vc(vc)" will then
  reset vt_newvt to -1, so this works for that case too.   - Linus ]
