console: prevent registered consoles from dumping old kernel message over again
For a platform with many consoles like:
"console=tty1 console=ttyMFD2 console=ttyS0 earlyprintk=mrst"
Each time when the non "selected_console" (tty1 and ttyMFD2 here) get
registered, the existing kernel message will be printed out on registered
consoles again, the "mrst" early console will get some same message for 3
times, and "tty1" will get some for twice.
As suggested by Andrew Morton, every time a new console is registered, it
will be set as the "exclusive" console which will dump the already
existing kernel messages.
