Always notify consumers of char devices if they're open

When using virtio-console on s390, the input doesn't work.

The root of the problem is rather simple. What happens is the following:

 1) create character device for stdio
 2) char device is done creating, sends OPENED event
 3) virtio-console adds handlers
 4) no event comes because the char device is open already
 5) virtio-console doesn't accept input because it didn't
    receive an OPENED event

To make that sure virtio-console gets notified that the character device
is open even when it's been open from the beginning, this patch introduces
a variable that keeps track of the opened state. If the device is open when
the event handlers get installed, we just notify the handler.

This fixes input with virtio-console on s390.
