[PATCH] vt: rework the console spawning variables
This is such a rare path it took me a while to figure out how to test
this after soring out the locking.
This patch does several things.
- The variables used are moved into a structure and declared in vt_kern.h
- A spinlock is added so we don't have SMP races updating the values.
- Instead of raw pid_t value a struct_pid is used to guard against
pid wrap around issues, if the daemon to spawn a new console dies.
