Summary

Linux does not check that any of the signals in vt_mode VT_SETMODE ioctl
(relsig, acqsig, frsig) are valid, but FreeBSD required that all three
are valid.  frsig is unusued in both Linux and FreeBSD, and software
typically leaves it unset.  To improve portability, allow frsig to be
set to zero.
