commit ae3419fbac845b4d3f3a9fae4cc80c68d82cdf6e upstream.
Commit 226fae124b2d ("vc_screen: move load of struct vc_data pointer in vcs_read() to avoid UAF") moved the call to vcs_vc() into the loop.
While doing this it also moved the unconditional assignment of
ret = -ENXIO;
This unconditional assignment was valid outside the loop but within it it clobbers the actual value of ret.
To avoid this only assign "ret = -ENXIO" when actually needed.
[ Also, the 'goto unlock_out" needs to be just a "break", so that it does the right thing when it exits on later iterations when partial success has happened - Linus ]
