[PATCH] linux: Do not call FatalError from xf86CloseConsole

FatalError ends up calling xf86CloseConsole itself, so calling FatalError
from within xf86CloseConsole is not a good idea.

All the other error checking done in xf86CloseConsole uses
xf86Msg(X_WARNING, ...) except for the switch_to() helper function,
change things so that switch_to() also uses xf86Msg rather then FatalError
when called from xf86CloseConsole.
