[PATCH] Cygwin: console: Prevent the order of typeahead input from swapped.

- If a lot of keys are typed very quickly in the app which does
  not read console, the order of input keys in console input buffer
  occasionally swapped. Although this extremely rarely happens,
  is obviously a bug of cons_master_thread. This patch fixes the
  issue.
