vt: Fix replacement console check when unbinding
I don't fully understand the magic of the vt register/unregister logic, but apparently everything but the inital console (as set in the conswitchp pointer) is marked with FLAG_MODULE. Which means if something unregistered the boot vt driver (e.g. i915.ko kicking out vga_con) there's nothing left when trying to unbind e.g. fbcon through sysfs. But in most cases have the dummy console hanging around besides the boot console, so this test is fairly dubious. What we actually want is simply a different console than the one we want to unbind. v2: Correct the commit message to clarify that the dummy console isn't always around, but only in most cases (David).
