printk/console: Split out code that enables default console
[ Upstream commit ed758b30d541e9bf713cd58612a4414e57dc6d73 ]
Put the code enabling a console by default into a separate function
called try_enable_default_console().
Rename try_enable_new_console() to try_enable_preferred_console() to
make the purpose of the different variants more clear.
It is a code refactoring without any functional change.
