Retry opening console device on EIO0.4.5
As reported in https://launchpad.net/bugs/544139, ConsoleKit sometimes fails to
track the active VT. This particular case was tracked down to a race condition
that happens if you try to open /dev/console while the current TTY is currently
being closed. This yields an -EIO error, in which case CK should just try
again.
For a more detailled summary of the problem from a kernel perspective, please
see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/554172/comments/245 .
