With commit b4f55fcf355a ("console: expose consoles in devfs") consoles
got inserted, but never removed from devfs.
When dealing with USB consoles, barebox should be prepared for devices
spontaneously appering and disappering again (user disconnects and re-
connects the cable). If the devfs entry is not removed upon disconnect,
barebox will raise an error "device creation failed with File exists"
when the cable is connected again.
Remove devfs entries when consoles are de-registered.
Also change the error message, it's the devfs entry.
