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.

v6 -> v7:
- return back to v5 :)
- leave the check for already registered entries and add a function that
maintains the invariant.
v5 -> v6:
- drop v5 and continue to work on v4:
- introduce _braille_is_braille_console(). It helps to split original loop
into three parts: 1) search for braille console, 2) check for
preferred_console, 3) match other entries so that these three parts do not
intersect.
- introduce for_each_console_cmdline() macros to traverse console_cmdline
