vgacon: prevent vgacon_deinit from touching the hardware for inactive consoles.

Browse source 
fbcon makes the (reasonable) assumption that it only needs to program the
hardware once, when fbcon_init() is called for the foreground console.

This doesn't always play well with vgacon because vgacon_deinit() is only
doing its job when the last console it owns is closed (when switching from
vgacon to fbcon, that's usually *after* fbcon_init() has set the new
mode).

Depending on the hardware this can cause the wrong framebuffer location to
be scanned out (e.g.  reproduced on nv05 with the nouveau framebuffer
driver).
