One should be able to set CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS=0 on
platforms with zero built-in 8250-like ports. However, that case was
prohibited in commit 59cfc45f17d6
("serial: 8250: Do nothing if nr_uarts=0"), because of missing array
initialization, effectively disabling the driver entirely.
The missing array initialization has been fixed in the previous commit,
so remove check for zero runtime ports. Said check gets to stay when
initializing early consoles, though, because that makes sense for
built-in ports only.
