    Cygwin: console: Fix a race issue between close() and open().
    
    The open() call for console sometimes fails if the console owner
    process is closing the console by close() at the same time. This
    is due to mismatch state of con.owner variable and attaching state
    to the console. With this patch, checking con.owner and attaching
    to con.owner sequence in open(), and resetting con.owner and freeing
    console sequence in close() are guarded by output_mutex to avoid
    such a race issue.
