initramfs-framework: fix boothang when console=null

If console=null systemd-udevd throws an assertion which prevents the
system from booting. This patch redirects stdin, stdout and stderr to
/dev/null in case that the console can't be opened so that udevd still
boots.

A systemd issue was reported here. However, they will not fix this
specific use-case:
