[PATCH] LXC: don't doubly link /dev/console

[Dwight Engen <dwight.engen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When a console is configured, /dev/console and /dev/tty1 are created as
symlinks to the same underlying pts. This causes problems since a
separate getty will be spawned for /dev/console and /dev/tty1, but they
are each controlling the same device.

This patch makes it so that /dev/console is the sole symlink to the first
console, /dev/tty1 to the second, /dev/tty2 to the third and so on.
