[PATCH] virtio: console: Unlock vqs while freeing buffers

Commit c6017e793b93 ("virtio: console: add locks around buffer removal
in port unplug path") added locking around the freeing of buffers in the
vq. However, when free_buf() is called with can_sleep = true and rproc
is enabled, it calls dma_free_coherent() directly, requiring interrupts
to be enabled. Currently a WARNING is triggered due to the spin locking
around free_buf, with a call stack like this:

WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 121 at ./include/linux/dma-mapping.h:433
free_buf+0x1a8/0x288

[<807b6b50>] unregister_virtio_device+0x28/0x44

Fix this by restructuring the loops to allow the locks to only be taken
where it is necessary to protect the vqs, and release it while the
buffer is being freed.
