USB: console: fix kernel crash on stty -a < /dev/ttyUSB0

* Boot with the kernel argument console=ttyUSB0,9600
* Run: stty -a < /dev/ttyUSB0
* Immediately you get an oops warning, which later leads to a hard
  kernel crash

The commit 335f8514 created the
original regression and commit
6e406121 only fixed part of the
problem.

Only protect the serial->type->open() from getting executed when the
device is used as a console.

The wider scope of the console protection added in
6e406121 causes the logic in
serial_open() to fall through and zero out the port->port.count with
the stty sys call.  Once the port.count is zeroed the HW will get
closed while other drivers still have call backs to a non-initialized
device which crashes the kernel.
