virtio: console: Don't always create a port 0 if using multiport
If we're using multiport, there's no point in always creating a console port. Create the console port only if the host doesn't support multiport. Signed-off-by: Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
