serial: core: fix console port-lock regression
Fix the port-lock initialisation regression introduced by commit a3cb39d258ef ("serial: core: Allow detach and attach serial device for console") by making sure that the lock is again initialised during console setup. The console may be registered before the serial controller has been probed in which case the port lock needs to be initialised during console setup by a call to uart_set_options(). The console-detach changes introduced a regression in several drivers by effectively removing that initialisation by not initialising the lock when the port is used as a console (which is always the case during console setup). Add back the early lock initialisation and instead use a new console-reinit flag to handle the case where a console is being re-attached through sysfs. The question whether the console-detach interface should have been added in the first place is left for another discussion. Note that the console-enabled check in uart_set_options() is not redundant because of kgdboc, which can end up reinitialising an already enabled console (see commit 42b6a1baa3ec ("serial_core: Don't re-initialize a previously initialized spinlock.")).
