Commit 421b40a6286e ("tty/vt: Fix vc_deallocate() lock order") changed
the behavior when deallocating VT 1. Previously if trying to
deallocate VT1 and it is busy, we would return EBUSY. The commit
changed this to return 0 (success).
This commit restores the old behavior.

Yes, sorry about that. I only remembered after I sent the email.
