Thanks!
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address (null)

The normal tty driver doesn't crash, because init_pmz() checks
pmz_ports_count again after calling pmz_probe().
In the serial console initialization path, pmz_console_init() doesn't do
this, causing the driver to crash later.
Add a check for pmz_ports_count to fix this.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
