Actually, register_console() already has this check, but it does a
WARN(). If the debug setup is used for nfcon, this situation is
normal. So probably to avoid the WARN, the CON_ENABLED code was added.

I could add a console_is_registered() function that checks if the
console is in the console list and use that instead. If we are going to
touch this code, we might as well touch it correctly, right?
