[PATCH] swsusp: fix suspend when console is in VT_AUTO+KD_GRAPHICS mode

When the console is in VT_AUTO+KD_GRAPHICS mode, switching to the
SUSPEND_CONSOLE fails, resulting in vt_waitactive() waiting indefinitely or
until the task is interrupted.  This patch tests if a console switch can
occur in set_console() and returns early if a console switch is not
possible.
