Calling tty_find_polling_driver() can lead to uart_set_options() being
called (via the poll_init() callback of tty_operations) to configure the
uart. But uart_set_options() can also be called by register_console()
(via the setup() callback of console).
Take the console_list_lock to synchronize against register_console() and
also use it for console list traversal. This also ensures the console list
cannot change until the polling console has been chosen.
