virtio: console: wait for first console port for early console output
On s390 I have seen some random
"Warning: unable to open an initial console"
boot failure. Turns out that tty_open fails, because the
hvc_alloc was not yet done. In former times this could not happen,
since the probe function automatically called hvc_alloc. With newer
versions (multiport) some host<->guest interaction is required
before hvc_alloc is called. This might be too late, especially if
an initramfs is involved. Lets use a completion if we have
multiport and an early console.
[Amit:
* Use NULL instead of 0 for pointer comparison
* Rename 'port_added' to 'early_console_added'
* Re-format, re-word commit message
* Rebase patch on top of current queue]
