Subject: twist: allow disabling k_spec() function in drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c
syzbot is reporting unexpected kernel reboots [1]. This seems to be
caused by triggering Ctrl-Alt-Del event via k_spec() function in
drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c file, for the console output includes normal
restart sequence.

Therefore, allow disabling only k_spec() function in order to allow
fuzzers to examine the remaining part in that file.
