The bug manifests as an attempt to access deallocated memory:

The bug manifests on systemd systems with multiple vtcon devices:
  # cat /sys/devices/virtual/vtconsole/vtcon0/name
  (S) dummy device
  # cat /sys/devices/virtual/vtconsole/vtcon1/name
  (M) frame buffer device

There systemd runs 'loadkeys' tool in tapallel for each vtcon
instance. This causes two parallel ioctl(KDSKBSENT) calls to
race into adding the same entry into 'func_table' array at:

    drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c:vt_do_kdgkb_ioctl()

The function has no locking around writes to 'func_table'.

The simplest reproducer is to have initrams with the following
init on a 8-CPU machine x86_64:

    #!/bin/sh

    loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 &
    loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 &
    loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 &
    loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 &

    loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 &
    loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 &
    loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 &
    loadkeys -q windowkeys ru4 &
    wait

The change adds lock on write path only. Reads are still racy.
