USB: console: Fix regression in usb console on kernel boot
The commit 335f8514 introduced a regression which stopped usb consoles from working correctly as a kernel boot console as well as interactive login device. The addition of the serial_close() which in turn calls tty_port_close_start() will change the reference count of port.count and warn about it. The usb console code had previously incremented the port.count to indicate it was making use of the device as a console and the forced change causes a double open on the usb device which leads to a non obvious kernel oops later on when the tty is freed. To fix the problem instead make use of port->console to track if the port is in fact an active console port to avoid double initialization of the usb serial device. The port.count is incremented and decremented only with in the scope of usb_console_setup() for the purpose of the low level driver initialization.
