Bug description:
[Impact]
This crash is ranking #2 on errors.u.c[1], it is caused by a recursive call
to xf86CloseConsole() after a failed VT switch. Since it is happening on
shutdown, its not causing any real issues with the user session, however it is
spamming the users (and errors.u.c) with crash logs.
[Test Case]
1. Running under a gdm/gnome-shell session select 'power off' from the user
menu (it doesn't get triggered on a restart)
2. On next login you will receive a crash report
[Regression Potential]
Very Low, its an upstream patch, that just changes the error logging, so that
the a warning is logged rather than crashing the server.
