virtio_console: Let unconnected rproc device receive data.
Allow rproc serial ports to receive data before the port is connected. Rproc serial ports usually talk to very simple remote devices with no control queue managing open/close events. So we must let remote devices write to the virtio ring even if the device is not yet fully initialized.
