That's already been done by the virtio infrastructure before the probe
function is called.

This call was disabled as hot-unplugging one virtconsole port led to
another virtconsole port freezing.

Upon testing it again, this now works, so enable it.

In addition, a bug was found in qemu wherein removing a port of one type
caused the guest output from another port to stop working.  I doubt it
was just this bug that caused it (since disabling the hvc_remove() call
did allow other ports to continue working), but since it's all solved
now, we're fine with hot-unplugging of virtconsole ports.

If a virtio-console device gets unplugged while a port is open, a
subsequent close() call on the port accesses vqs to free up buffers.
This can lead to a crash.

The buffers are already freed up as a result of the call to
unplug_ports() from virtcons_remove().  The fix is to simply not access
vq information if port->portdev is NULL.

  virtio: console: Move file back to drivers/char/

Commit 728674a7e466628df2aeec6d11a2ae1ef968fb67 moved virtio_console.c
to drivers/tty/hvc/ under the perception of this being an hvc driver.
It was such once, but these days it has generic communication
capabilities as well, so move it to drivers/char/.

In the future, the hvc part from this file can be split off and moved
under drivers/tty/hvc/.

As requested by Arnd Bergmann, the hvc drivers are now
moved to the drivers/tty/hvc/ directory.  The virtio_console.c driver
was also moved, as it required the hvc_console.h file to be able to be
built, and it really is a hvc driver.

Stanse found that in init_vqs, memory is leaked under certain
circumstanses (the fail path order is incorrect). Fix that by checking
allocations in one turn and free all of them at once if some fails
(some may be NULL, but this is OK).

The ports are char devices; do not have seeking capabilities.  Calling
nonseekable_open() from the fops_open() call and setting the llseek fops
pointer to no_llseek ensures an lseek() call from userspace returns
-ESPIPE.

If a port has registered for SIGIO signals, let the application
know that the port is getting unplugged.

Send a SIGIO signal when new data arrives on a port. This is sent only
when the process has requested for the signal to be sent using fcntl().
