#1585356 — [PATCH] remove unnecessary initial allocation of vc

This patch removes the unnecessary allocation of
current foreground vc during initialization.

Also change the prototype of speakup_allocate to take
extra argument of gfp_* flags. Thus not requiring
GFP_ATOMIC during initialization.

Just add in the log that it's unnecessary because the for loop below
does the initialization already.

That's two different things, please do this in two different patches.

And always say what driver/subsystem you are patching in your subject
line, like other patches for the same driver.

Please fix up and resend.

thanks,
