This change fixes an issue with virtio console port assignment on
virtio-serial buses.
Currently, when trying to autoassign a virtio console device, the device cannot be
assigned to a port greater than 0 on virtio-serial buses.
You will receive the following error:
`virtio-serial-bus: A port already exists at id 0`
Therefore, the data needs to be passed back into info when allowZero is true.
We should also preserve the controller data when allowZero is true, and
propagate allowZero into virDomainVirtioSerialAddrNextFromController
to get an appropriate startPort.
Fixes: 16db8d2e ("Add functions to track virtio-serial addresses")

This is suspicious because this function until now just returned the
next eligible port, but now it's also reserving it which doesn't seem to
fit well here.
Can you please explain this?
Also the spacing is weird, but I can fix that.
