2.1.[567] Minor Configuration Bug: CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ && !CONFIG_VT

Making a kernel for a friend, I ran into the following. He had a rather
broken .config: for some reason, he had not selected CONFIG_VT. This is
seriously broken, but it is marginally worth noting that one cannot build
a kernel with CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ and without CONFIG_VT (nor should one
want to).
