Nicolas Pitre 3f4ef485be vt: fix scrollback flushing on background consoles
Commit a6dbe44275 ("vt: perform safe console erase in the right
order") provided fixes to an earlier commit by gathering all console
scrollback flushing operations in a function of its own. This includes
the invocation of vc_sw->con_switch() as previously done through a
update_screen() call. That commit failed to carry over the
con_is_visible() conditional though, as well as cursor handling, which
caused problems when "\e[3J" was written to a background console.

One could argue for preserving the call to update_screen(). However
this does far more than we need, and it is best to remove scrollback
assumptions from it. Instead let's gather the minimum needed to actually
perform scrollback flushing properly in that one place.

While at it, let's document the vc_sw->con_switch() side effect being
relied upon.
