commit e74d098c66543d0731de62eb747ccd5b636a6f4c upstream.

Alan pointed out a race in the code where hvc_remove is invoked. The
recent virtio_console work is the first user of hvc_remove().

I faintly remember this bug caused boot issues and the following patch
must be applied to fix it.

The patch you pointed was indeed merged just after this one so we should
be OK. Thanks very much for the double check !
