Subject[patch 23/35] vt_ioctl: fix lock imbalance
2.6.29-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com>

commit a115902f67ef51fbbe83e214fb761aaa9734c1ce upstream.

Don't return from switch/case directly in vt_ioctl. Set ret and break
instead so that we unlock BKL.
