Jiri Olsa fcdba07ee3 tty,vcs removing con_buf/conf_buf_mtx
seems there's no longer need for using con_buf/conf_buf_mtx
as vcs_read/vcs_write buffer for user's data.

The do_con_write function, that was the other user of this,
is currently using its own kmalloc-ed buffer.

Not sure when this got changed, as I was able to find this code
in 2.6.9, but it's already gone as far as current git history
goes - 2.6.12-rc2.

AFAICS there's a behaviour change with the current change.
The lseek is not completely mutually exclusive with the
vcs_read/vcs_write - the file->f_pos might get updated
via lseek callback during the vcs_read/vcs_write processing.

I tried to find out if the prefered behaviour is to keep
this in sync within read/write/lseek functions, but I did
not find any pattern on different places.

I guess if user end up calling write/lseek from different
threads she should know what she's doing. If needed we
could use dedicated fd mutex/buffer.
