The console_select() function does not check that active_console is
non-NULL before dereferencing it.  When invoked with qemu -nodefaults it
is possible to hit this case.

This patch checks that active_console is non-NULL before stashing away
the old console dimensions in console_select().

Looks sane to me, simliar tests exist in other places.

To avoid that still more people fix the same bug,
I'd appreciate shorter commit times for simple patches like this one.

Cheers,
