With the generic earlycon infrastructure in place, convert the 8250
early console to use it.

Hi Greg, Rob

This one in tty-next breaks booting: "console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,115200".
No early console and regular console anymore.

It should produce "early con and regular con".
This is what I get for running checkpatch and converting
simple_strtoul to kstrto* which are not so equivalent. kstrto* will
not convert things such as 115200n8 to a number.

As this is in my tree now (right?), I need a fix to apply to it.
Nevermind, you already sent it...
