virtio: console: Add reference counting for port struct
When a port got hot-unplugged, when a port was open, any file operation after the unplugging resulted in a crash. This is fixed by ref-counting the port structure, and releasing it only when the file is closed. This splits the unplug operation in two parts: first marks the port as unavailable, removes all the buffers in the vqs and removes the port from the per-device list of ports. The second stage, invoked when all references drop to zero, releases the chardev and frees all other memory.
