tty: vt: expect valid vc when in tty ops

At least since commits feebed6515a1 ("tty: shutdown method") and
bc1e99d93f09 ("TTY: vt, add ->install"), tty->driver_data in vc is
expected to be set since tty_operations::install() till ::cleanup().

So the checks of !tty->driver_data (aka !vc) in:
* vc_do_resize() by tty -> ioctl(TIOCSWINSZ) -> vt_resize()
* do_con_write() by tty -> tty_operations::write()/::put_char()
* con_flush_chars() by tty -> ::flush_chars()
are all superfluous. And also, holding a console lock is not needed to
fetch tty->driver_data.

Note there is even a stale comment in con_flush_chars() about a race
between that and con_close(). But con_close() does not set
tty->driver_data to NULL for years already.

Drop all these in a hope I am not terribly mistaken.
