If a console was specified by ACPI SPCR table _and_ command line
parameters like "console=ttyAMA0" _and_ "earlycon" were specified,
then log messages appear twice.

The root cause is that the code traverses the list of specified
consoles (the `console_cmdline` array) and stops at the first match.
But it may happen that the same console is referred by the elements
of this array twice:

        pl011,mmio,0x87e024000000,115200 -- from SPCR
        ttyAMA0 -- from command line

but in this case `preferred_console` points to the second entry and
the flag CON_CONSDEV is not set, so bootconsole is not deregistered.

To fix that, match the console against the `console_cmdline` entry
pointed by `preferred_console` instead of the first match.
