[PATCH v2 02/11] virtio: console: fix race in port_fops_open() and port unplug

[Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com>]

Between open() being called and processed, the port can be unplugged.
Check if this happened, and bail out.

A simple test script to reproduce this is:

while true; do for i in $(seq 1 100); do echo $i > /dev/vport0p3; done; done;

This opens and closes the port a lot of times; unplugging the port while
this is happening triggers the race condition.
