Subject: [PATCH] virtio: console: Move file back to drivers/char/

Commit 728674a7e466628df2aeec6d11a2ae1ef968fb67 moved virtio_console.c
to drivers/tty/hvc/ under the perception of this being an hvc driver.
It was such once, but these days it has generic communication
capabilities as well, so move it to drivers/char/.

In the future, the hvc part from this file can be split off and moved
under drivers/tty/hvc/.
