    kernel -- syscons: Resolve unmatched PHOLD() for MOUSE_MODE ioctl.
    
    When a syscons process put itself into MOUSE_MODE, a process-hold
    was being placed to stabilize the process for signal delivery. The
    hold was not being released on process exit, however.
    
    This change reworks syscons to install a per-process flag as to
    whether it is in MOUSE_MODE or not and to remove the excess hold on
    exit(). It also cleans up the error handling and prevents stale
    process pointers from lingering in syscons stat structures.
