login: pause devices before acknowledging VT switches
If a session controller does not need synchronous VT switches, we allow them to pass VT control to logind, which acknowledges all VT switches unconditionally. This works fine with all sessions using the dbus API, but causes out-of-sync device use if we switch to legacy sessions that are notified via VT signals. Those are processed before logind notices the session-switch via sysfs. Therefore, leaving the old session still active for a short amount of time. This, in fact, may cause the legacy session to prepare graphics devices before the old session was deactivated, and thus, maybe causing the old session to interfer with graphics device usage. Fix this by releasing devices immediately before acknowledging VT switches. This way, sessions without VT handlers are required to support async session switching (which they do in that case, anyway).
