[PATCH v2] powerpc/legacy_serial: Fix UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy at csgroup.eu>

UBSAN complains when a pointer is calculated with invalid
'legacy_serial_console' index, allthough the index is verified
before dereferencing the pointer.

Fix it by checking 'legacy_serial_console' validity before
calculating pointers.

v2: mpe: Just move the assignment of port/info below the check, as
    suggested by Segher.
