tty/vt: Fix vc_deallocate() lock order



Now that the tty port owns the flip buffers and i/o is allowed
from the driver even when no tty is attached, the destruction
of the tty port (and the flip buffers) must ensure that no
outstanding work is pending.

Unfortunately, this creates a lock order problem with the
console_lock (see attached lockdep report [1] below).

For single console deallocation, drop the console_lock prior
to port destruction. When multiple console deallocation,
defer port destruction until the consoles have been
deallocated.

tty_port_destroy() is not required if the port has not
been used; remove from vc_allocate() failure path.

 ======================================================
 [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
 3.9.0+ #16 Not tainted
 -------------------------------------------------------
 (agetty)/26163 is trying to acquire lock:
 blocked:  ((&buf->work)){+.+...}, instance: ffff88011c8b0020, at: [<ffffffff81062065>] flush_work+0x5/0x2e0

 but task is already holding lock:
 blocked:  (console_lock){+.+.+.}, instance: ffffffff81c2fde0, at: [<ffffffff813bc201>] vt_ioctl+0xb61/0x1230

 which lock already depends on the new lock.

 the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
