console: introduce console_is_registered()

Currently it is not possible for drivers to detect if they have
already successfully registered their console. Several drivers
have multiple paths that lead to console registration. To avoid
attempting a 2nd registration (which leads to a WARN), drivers
are implementing their own solution.

Introduce console_is_registered() so drivers can easily identify
if their console is currently registered. A _locked() variant
is also provided if the caller is already holding the
console_list_lock.
