printk: fix double printing with earlycon
If a console was specified by ACPI SPCR table _and_ command line parameters like "console=ttyAMA0" _and_ "earlycon" were specified, then log messages appear twice. The root cause is that the code traverses the list of specified consoles (the `console_cmdline` array) and stops at the first match. But it may happen that the same console is referred by the elements of this array twice: pl011,mmio,0x87e024000000,115200 -- from SPCR ttyAMA0 -- from command line but in this case `preferred_console` points to the second entry and the flag CON_CONSDEV is not set, so bootconsole is not deregistered. To fix that, introduce an invariant "The last non-braille console is always the preferred one" on the entries of the console_cmdline array. Then traverse it in reverse order to be sure that if the console is preferred then it will be the first matching entry. Introduce variable console_cmdline_cnt that keeps the number of elements of the console_cmdline array (Petr Mladek). It helps to get rid of the loop that searches for the end of this array.
