commit 2704c9a5593f4a47620c12dad78838ca62b52f48 upstream.
The xen_hvc_init() function should always register the frontend driver,
even when there's no primary console — as there may be secondary consoles.
(Qemu can always add secondary consoles, but only the toolstack can add
the primary because it's special.)
