Subject: fix "printk: Enable the use of more than one CON_BOOT (early console)"
From: Sonic Zhang <Sonic.Zhang@xxxxxxxxxx>
Don't return when we find the first bootconsole - it can leave other
bootconsoles still installed, and they can be used and cause problems
later (if they are in the init section, and eventually released), and
cause problems. Make sure we remove all of them.
