Subject: [PATCH printk v4 22/39] tty: nfcon: use console_is_registered()

Currently CON_ENABLED is being (mis)used to identify if the console
has been registered. This is not reliable because it can be set even
though registration failed or it can be unset, even though the console
is registered. Use console_is_registered() instead.
