vt: selection, push console lock down

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1868628

commit 4b70dd57 upstream.

We need to nest the console lock in sel_lock, so we have to push it down
a bit. Fortunately, the callers of set_selection_* just lock the console
lock around the function call. So moving it down is easy.

In the next patch, we switch the order.
