[PATCH v2 9/9] printk: Try enable preferred consoles only when there are any

[Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com>]

try_enable_preferred_console() used to be always called because it
had several hidden effects, namely:

- enabled Braille consoles which were ignored by "preferred_dev_console"
  because they were not associated with /dev/console.

- returned success when a console was pre-enabled using CON_ENABLED
  flag.

- returned success when a console was enabled by default because
  try_enable_default_console() did not return success.

The first two hidden effects were removed in previous patches. Remove
the last one so that try_enable_preferred_console() can be called only
when any non-Braille console is preferred.
