    syscons - Avoid potential blocking issue.
    
    - kbd_ioctl() uses it's own locking via lockmgr() and the
      syscons softc is protected using a mutex, so we better
      avoid both locks at once due possible blocking issues.
      In fact, in my particular case the panic only occurs in
      real hardware, while on a VMWare VM I had a lockup.
    - Only found in 4-CPU SMP setups.
    - Discovered via DEBUG_LOCKS option.
