    VT_WAITACTIVE: Avoid returning EINTR when not necessary
    
    We should generally prefer to return ERESTARTNOHAND rather than EINTR,
    so that processes with unhandled signals that get ignored don't return
    EINTR.
    
    This can help with X startup issues:
    
        Fatal server error:
        xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call
    
    although the real fix is having the X server always retry EINTR
    regardless (since EINTR does happen for signals that have handlers
    installed). Keithp has a patch for that.
