of: do not leak console options
Do not strdup() console options. It seems that the only reason for it to be strdup()-ed was a compilation warning: printk, UART and console drivers, for some reason, expect char pointer instead of const char pointer. So we can just pass `of_stdout_options', but need to cast it to char pointer. A better fix would be to change printk, console drivers and UART to accept const char `options'; but that will take time - there are lots of drivers to update. The patch also fixes a possible memory leak: add_preferred_console() can fail, but we don't kfree() options.
