sel_lock cannot nest in the console lock. Thanks to syzkaller, the
kernel states firmly:

This is ioctl(TIOCL_SETSEL).
Locks held on the path: console_lock -> sel_lock

This is write().

This is ioctl(TIOCL_PASTESEL).
Locks held on the path: sel_lock -> termios_rwsem

Clearly. From the above, we have:
 console_lock -> sel_lock
 sel_lock -> termios_rwsem
 termios_rwsem -> console_lock

Fix this by reversing the console_lock -> sel_lock dependency in
ioctl(TIOCL_SETSEL). First, lock sel_lock, then console_lock.
