[PATCH] hvc/xen: lock console list traversal

The currently lockless access to the xen console list in
vtermno_to_xencons() is incorrect, as additions and removals from the
list can happen anytime, and as such the traversal of the list to get
the private console data for a given termno needs to happen with the
lock held.  Note users that modify the list already do so with the
lock taken.

While there switch from using list_for_each_entry_safe to
list_for_each_entry: the current entry cursor won't be removed as
part of the code in the loop body, so using the _safe variant is
pointless.

If xencons_lock requires irqsave then we need to change all the
xencons_lock spinlocks to call irqsave, including the ones in
xen_hvm_console_init if they can happen at runtime.
