tty/vt: use guard()s

Having all the new guards, use them in the vt code. This improves
readability, makes error handling easier, and marks locked portions of
code explicit.

A local free_page_ptr __free guard is introduced for
__get_free_page/free_page (with proper casts). This could be made public
in include/. But I am not sure if there are more possible users, so
keeping completely private here.
