vt: Fix deadlock on scroll-lock
Fixing the locking accidentally replaced a race in the scroll lock handling with a deadlock. Turn it back into a race for now. The basic problem is that there are two paths into the tty stop/start helpers. One via the tty layer ^S/^Q handling where we need to take the kbd_event_lock and one via the special keyboard handler for fn_hold where we already hold it. Probably we need to split out into a separate LED lock but for now just go back to the race as it's a bit close to release.
