tty: add 'active' sysfs attribute to tty0 and console device

tty: add 'active' sysfs attribute to tty0 and console device

Userspace can query the actual virtual console, and the configured
console devices behind /dev/tt0 and /dev/console.

The last entry in the list of devices is the active device, analog
to the console= kernel command line option.

The attribute supports poll(), which is raised when the virtual
console is changed or /dev/console is reconfigured.

Contact: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>
Description:
Shows the list of currently configured
console devices, like 'tty1 ttyS0'.
The last entry in the file is the active
device connected to /dev/console.
The file supports poll() to detect virtual
console switches.
