Subject: [PATCH v11 12/19] serial: kgdb_nmi: No CON_ENABLED by default

At present this console is selectively enabled/disabled by NULL checking
arch_kgdb_ops.enable_nmi. In practice this requires the architecture
dependant code to implement some kind of control (e.g. module arguments)
to enable/disable the feature.

The kernel already provide the perfectly adequade console= argument to
do this. Let's us that instead, if nothing else, it makes any
documentation architecture neutral.
