Description

Build error when warnings are enabled:

    ../comconsole.c: In function 'efi_serial_init':
    ../comconsole.c:132:9: warning: 'handles' is used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
      status = BS->LocateHandle(ByProtocol, &serial, NULL, &bufsz, handles);
      ~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It should be harmless because we are asking for size for the handles array (bufsz is set to 0), but lets play safe and also set handles to NULL.
