[PATCH] console: don't select first registered console if stdout-path used

[Eugeniy Paltsev]

In the current implementation we take the first console that
registers if we didn't select one.

But if we specify console via "stdout-path" property in device tree
we don't want first console that registers here to be selected.
Otherwise we may choose wrong console - for example if some console
is registered earlier than console is pointed in "stdout-path"
property because console pointed in "stdout-path" property can be add as
preferred quite late - when it's driver is probed.
