x86: early_printk: Protect against using the same device twice 

If you use the kernel argument:

  earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200

This will cause a recursive hang printing the same line
again and again:

 BIOS-e820: 000000003fff3000 - 0000000040000000 (ACPI data)
 BIOS-e820: 00000000e0000000 - 00000000f0000000 (reserved)
 BIOS-e820: 00000000fec00000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)
bootconsole [earlyser0] enabled

Instead warn the end user that they specified the device
a second time, and ignore that second console.
