Presently we are not closing SOL and FW sessions during R/R. Host will continue
to write to SOL during FSP R/R. If there is heavy console write operation
happening during FSP R/R (like running `top` command inside cosnole), then at
some point console buffer becomes full. Call to fsp_console_write_buffer_space()
returns 0 (or less than required space to write data) to host. While one thread
is busy writing to console, if some other threads tries to write daa to console
we may see RCU stalls (like below) in kernel.
kernel call trace:

Hence lets close SOL (and FW console) during FSP R/R.
