John Ogness 6f8836756f printk, xen: fbfront: create/use safe function for forcing preferred
With commit 9e124fe16ff2("xen: Enable console tty by default in domU
if it's not a dummy") a hack was implemented to make sure that the
tty console remains the console behind the /dev/console device. The
main problem with the hack is that, after getting the console pointer
to the tty console, it is assumed the pointer is still valid after
releasing the console_sem. This assumption is incorrect and unsafe.

Make the hack safe by introducing a new function
console_force_preferred_locked() and perform the full operation
under the console_list_lock.
