vt: selection, push console lock down

commit 4b70dd57a15d2f4685ac6e38056bad93e81e982f upstream.

We need to nest the console lock in sel_lock, so we have to push it down
a bit. Fortunately, the callers of set_selection_* just lock the console
lock around the function call. So moving it down is easy.

In the next patch, we switch the order.
