[PATCH v2 1/9] printk: fix name and type of some variables

[Aleksey Makarov]

The variable preferred_console is used only inside register_console()
and its semantics is boolean.  It is negative when no console has been
made preferred.

The variable selected_console holds an index into the console_cmdline
array, pointing to the console that was made preferred.

Rename the variables:
selected_console -> preferred_console
preferred_console -> has_preferred
and make the new has_preferred local static bool.

This is a preparatory patch.  To introduce selection with
ACPI SPCR table we should decide which value (old) preferred_console
should hold in the case when the console was set by ACPI.

Renaming was suggested by Peter Hurley
