Subject: [RESEND PATCH v2] vt_ioctl: fix potential spectre v1 in VT_DISALLOCATE

In VT_ACTIVATE an almost identical code path has been patched
with array_index_nospec. In the VT_DISALLOCATE path, the arg is
the user input from a system call argument and lately used as a index
for vc_cons[index].d access, which can be reached through path like
vt_disallocate->vc_busy or vt_disallocate->vc_deallocate.
For consistency both code paths should have the same mitigations
applied. Also, the code style is adjusted as suggested by Jiri.
