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 is
holding the port lock. This is necessary for a follow-up
commit relating to the port lock wrappers, which rely on @cons
not changing between lock and unlock.
