hvc_console: Fix loop if put_char() returns 0
If put_char() routine of a hvc console backend returns 0, then the
hvc console starts looping in the following scenarios:
1. hvc_console_print()
If put_char() returns 0 then the while loop may loop forever.
I have added the missing check for 0 to throw away console messages.
2. khvcd may loop:
The thread calls hvc_poll() --> hvc_push()... if there are still
buffered data then the HVC_POLL_WRITE bit is set and causes the
khvcd thread to loop (if yield() returns immediately).
However, instead of looping, the khvcd thread could sleep for
MIN_TIMEOUT (doing the same as for get_chars()).
The MIN_TIMEOUT is set if hvc_push() was not able to write
data to the backend. If data has been written, the timeout is
set to 0 to immediately re-schedule hvc_poll().
