[PATCH v3] printk: Set console_set_on_cmdline=1 when __add_preferred_console() is called with user_specified == true

From: Andre Kalb <andre.kalb@sma.de>

In case of using console="" or console=null
set console_set_on_cmdline=1 to disable "stdout-path" node from DT.

We basically need to set it every time when __add_preferred_console()
is called with parameter 'user_specified' set.
Therefore we can move setting it into a helper function that is
called from __add_preferred_console().

Changelog v1 to v2:
Move console_set_on_cmdling into separate function set_user_specified(), which is called from
__add_preferred_console().

The old patch v1 could be used to backport to stable 5.4 and lower.

Changelog v2 to v3:
Add comment to explain the less obvious behaviour.
