procd: improve early console handling

The malta target is broken since procd is used
as init. The initramfs image boots fine, however
the console is not working.

Improve the early console handling to fix the
problem.

+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] early: keep stdio files open
+
+At the end of the 'early_console' function, the
+file descriptor is closed unconditionally. This
+'close' call closes the stdio files if the fd
+returned by the 'open(dev/console)' call equals
+with any of the STD{IN,OUT,ERR}_FILENO values.
+When this happens, all subsequent accesses to
+the stdio files will fail and early console
+access won't work.
+
+To avoid this, don't close the file descriptor if
+that equals with any of the STD*_FILENO values.

+Note:
+
+The issue happens if Linux is unable to open the
+initial console before calling init. In this case,
+the 'open(dev/console)' call in the 'early_console'
+function returns with zero.

+ descriptors
+
+'man dup2' says:
+
+  dup2() makes newfd be the copy of oldfd, closing newfd first if
+  necessary, but note the following:
+
+  *  If oldfd is not a valid file descriptor, then the call fails,
+     and newfd is not closed.
+
+  *  If oldfd is a valid file descriptor, and newfd has the same
+     value as oldfd, then dup2() does nothing, and returns newfd.
