Commit c6017e793b93 ("virtio: console: add locks around buffer removal
in port unplug path") added locking around the freeing of buffers in the
vq. However, when free_buf() is called with can_sleep = true and rproc
is enabled, it calls dma_free_coherent() directly, requiring interrupts
to be enabled. Currently a WARNING is triggered due to the spin locking
around free_buf, with a call stack like this:

WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 121 at ./include/linux/dma-mapping.h:433

Fix this by restructuring the loops to allow the locks to only be taken
where it is necessary to protect the vqs, and release it while the
buffer is being freed.

Kernel source files need not include &lt;linux/kconfig.h&gt; explicitly
because the top Makefile forces to include it with:

  -include $(srctree)/include/linux/kconfig.h

This commit removes explicit includes except the following:

  * arch/s390/include/asm/facilities_src.h
  * tools/testing/radix-tree/linux/kernel.h

These two are used for host programs.

<title>virtio_console: Stop doing DMA on the stack</title>

virtio_console uses a small DMA buffer for control requests.  Move
that buffer into heap memory.

Doing virtio DMA on the stack is normally okay on non-DMA-API virtio
systems (which is currently most of them), but it breaks completely
if the stack is virtually mapped.

Tested by typing both directions using picocom aimed at /dev/hvc0.

when multiport is off, virtio console invokes config access from irq

Fix this up by scheduling work from config irq - similar to what we do
