virtio-console: Keep chardev open for other users after hot-unplug
After a hot-unplug operation, the previous behaviour was to close the chardev. That meant the chardev couldn't be re-used. Also, since chardev hot-plug isn't possible so far, this means virtio-console hot-plug isn't feasible as well. With this change, the chardev is kept around. A new virtio-console channel can then be hot-plugged with the same chardev and things will continue to work. Signed-off-by: Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com>
