serial: core: Allow detach and attach serial device for console
In the future we would like to disable power management on the serial devices used as kernel consoles to avoid weird behaviour in some cases. However, disabling PM may prevent system to go to deep sleep states, which in its turn leads to the higher power consumption. Tony Lindgren proposed a work around, i.e. allow user to detach such consoles to make PM working again. In case user wants to see what's going on, it also provides a mechanism to attach console back.
