tty: tty_io: use console_list_lock for list synchronization

show_cons_active() uses the console_lock to gather information
on registered consoles. It requires that no consoles are unregistered
until it is finished. The console_list_lock should be used because
list synchronization responsibility will be removed from the
console_lock in a later change.

Note, the console_lock is still needed to serialize the device()
callback with other console operations.
