    libpayload: video: Check for 'console' pointer before dereferencing it
    
    Seems that the 'if (cursor_enabled)' check in
    video_console_fixup_cursor() that was removed in chromium.org 1f880bca0 really
    meant to check for 'if (console)'. Looks like the whole video console
    driver is built extra robust to not fail no matter how screwed up the
    console is, so let's add this missing check here as well. Also fixed up
    a few other missing 'if (!console)' checks while I'm at it.
    
    However, what payloads should really be doing is check the return value
    of video_(console_)init() and not call the other video functions if that
    failed. This also adapts video_console_init() to correctly pass through
    the return value for that purpose (something that seems to have been
    overlooked in the dd9e4e58 refactoring).

    TEST=None. I don't know what Dave did to trigger this in the first
    place, but it's pretty straight-forward.
