kdb: Fix smatch warning on dbg_io_ops->is_console

The Smatch tool warned that the change from commit b8adde8dd (kdb: Avoid using dbg_io_ops until it is initialized) should add another null check later in the kdb_printf(). It is worth noting that the second use of dbg_io_ops->is_console is protected by the KDB_PAGER state variable which would only get set when kdb is fully active and initialized. If we ever encounter changes or defects in the KDB_PAGER state we do not want to crash the kernel in a kdb_printf/printk.
