[PATCH v2 02/24] vt: Initialize conswitchp to dummy_con if unset

From: Arvind Sankar
Date: Wed Dec 18 2019 - 16:46:14 EST


If the arch setup code hasn't initialized conswitchp yet, set it to
dummy_con in con_init. This will allow us to drop the dummy_con
initialization that's done in almost every architecture.
