Currently the port->lock wrappers uart_port_lock(),
uart_port_unlock() (and their variants) only lock/unlock
the spin_lock.
If the port is an nbcon console, the wrappers must also
acquire/release the console and mark the region as unsafe. This
allows general port->lock synchronization to be synchronized
with the nbcon console ownership.
Introduce a new struct nbcon_drvdata within struct console that
provides the necessary components for the port lock wrappers to
acquire the nbcon console and track its ownership.
Also introduce uart_port_set_cons() as a wrapper to set @cons
of a uart_port. The wrapper sets @cons under the port lock in
order to prevent @cons from disappearing while another context
owns the port lock via the port lock wrappers.
Also cleanup the description of the console_srcu_read_flags()
function. It is used by the port lock wrappers to ensure a
console cannot be fully unregistered while another context
owns the port lock via the port lock wrappers.
