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.

My bad.  The first version of this patch was closer to the original logic,
despite this patch looks simpler.

The problem is that newcon->setup() is called twice, firstly from
newcon->match(), then explicitly.  And it could be called third time later 
in another call to newcon->match().

The correct sequence is 1) try to match against preferred_console,
2) if that fails check other entries of console_cmdline.  That would require
some work so I will send a correction tomorrow.

All the best
