Log:
  Add some locking to sc_cngetc().
  
  Keyboard input needs Giant locking, and that is not possible to do
  correctly here.  Use mtx_trylock() and proceed unlocked as before if
  we can't acquire Giant (non-recursively), except in kdb mode don't
  even try to acquire Giant.  Everything here is a hack, but it often
  works.  Even if mtx_trylock() succeeds, this might be a LOR.
  
  Keyboard input also needs screen locking, to handle screen updates
  and switches.  Add this, using the same simplistic screen locking
  as for sc_cnputc().
  
  Giant must be acquired before the screen lock, and the screen lock
  must be dropped when calling the keyboard driver (else it would get a
  harmless LOR if it tries to acquire Giant).  It was intended that sc
  cn open/close hide the locking calls, and they do for i/o functions
  functions except for this complication.
  
  Non-console keyboard input is still only Giant-locked, with screen
  locking in some called functions.  This is correct for the keyboard
  parts only.
  
  When Giant cannot be acquired properly, atkbd and kbdmux tend to race
  and work (they assume that the caller acquired Giant properly and don't
  try to acquire it again or check that it has been acquired, and the
  races rarely matter), while ukbd tends to deadlock or panic (since it
  does the opposite, and has other usb threads to deadlock with).
  
  The keyboard (Giant) locking here does very little, but the screen
  locking completes screen locking for console mode except for not
  detecting or handling deadlock.
