s390/sclp_vt220: Fix kernel panic due to early terminal input

A kernel panic might occur when there is terminal input available via
the SCLP VT220 interface at an early time during the boot process.

The processing of terminal input requires prior initialization which is
done via an early_initcall function (init_workqueues) while the SCLP
VT220 driver registers for terminal input during a console_initcall
function (sclp_vt220_con_init). When there is terminal input available
via the SCLP interface between console_initcall and early_initcall, a
null pointer dereference occurs (system_wq is null).

Fix this problem by moving the registration for terminal input to a
device_initcall function (sclp_vt220_tty_init).
