serial: 8250: Unlink uart console ptr if console setup fails
If console setup fails (eg., there is no valid port at that index), unlink the console ptr; otherwise, when the driver unloads, the console will be unregistered (even though setup, and thus registration, failed) and a console disabled message will be printed.
