vt: selection, push console lock down
commit 4b70dd57a15d2f4685ac6e38056bad93e81e982f upstream. We need to nest the console lock in sel_lock, so we have to push it down a bit. Fortunately, the callers of set_selection_* just lock the console lock around the function call. So moving it down is easy. In the next patch, we switch the order.
