[PATCH printk v5 05/40] printk: move @seq initialization to helper

[John Ogness]

The code to initialize @seq for a new console needs to consider
more factors when choosing an initial value. Move the code into
a helper function console_init_seq() "as is" so this code can
be expanded without causing register_console() to become too
long. A later commit will implement the additional code.
