virtio: console: add locking around c_ovq operations
When multiple ovq operations are being performed (lots of open/close
operations on virtio_console fds), the __send_control_msg() function can
get confused without locking.
A simple recipe to cause badness is:
* create a QEMU VM with two virtio-serial ports
* in the guest, do
while true;do echo abc >/dev/vport0p1;done
while true;do echo edf >/dev/vport0p2;done
In one run, this caused a panic in __send_control_msg(). In another, I
got
virtio_console virtio0: control-o:id 0 is not a head!
This also results repeated messages similar to these on the host:
qemu-kvm: virtio-serial-bus: Unexpected port id 478762112 for device virtio-serial-bus.0
qemu-kvm: virtio-serial-bus: Unexpected port id 478762368 for device virtio-serial-bus.0
