Subject: [PATCH printk v8 02/35] printk: nbcon: Consolidate alloc() and init()

Rather than splitting the nbcon allocation and initialization into
two pieces, perform all initialization in nbcon_alloc(). Later,
the initial sequence is calculated and can be explicitly set using
nbcon_seq_force(). This removes the need for the strong rules of
nbcon_init() that even included a BUG_ON().
