Subject: [PATCH printk v4 35/39] tty: serial: kgdboc: use console_list_lock for list traversal

configure_kgdboc() uses the console_lock for console list iteration. Use
the console_list_lock instead because list synchronization responsibility
will be removed from the console_lock in a later change.

The SRCU iterator could have been used here, but a later change will
relocate the locking of the console_list_lock to also provide
synchronization against register_console().

Note, the console_lock is still needed to serialize the device()
callback with other console operations.
