[PATCH printk v2 04/26] printk: Consider nbcon boot consoles on seq init

[John Ogness]

If a non-boot console is registering and boot consoles exist, the
consoles are flushed before being unregistered. This allows the
non-boot console to continue where the boot console left off.

If for whatever reason flushing fails, the lowest seq found from
any of the enabled boot consoles is used. Until now con->seq was
checked. However, if it is an nbcon boot console, the function
nbcon_seq_read() must be used to read seq because con->seq is
always 0.

Check if it is an nbcon boot console and if so call
nbcon_seq_read() to read seq.
