This patchset introduces target resume capability to netconsole allowing
it to recover targets when underlying low-level interface comes back
online.

The patchset starts by refactoring netconsole state representation in
order to allow representing deactivated targets (targets that are
disabled due to interfaces going down). It then modifies netconsole to
handle NETDEV_UP events for such targets and setups netpoll.

The patchset includes a selftest that validates netconsole target state
transitions and that target is functional after resumed.

Changes in v2:
- Attempt to resume target in the same thread, instead of using
workqueue .
- Add wrapper around __netpoll_setup (patch 4).
- Renamed resume_target to maybe_resume_target and moved conditionals to
inside its implementation, keeping code more clear.
- Verify that device addr matches target mac address when target was
setup using mac.
- Update selftest to cover targets bound by mac and interface name.
- Fix typo in selftest comment and sort tests alphabetically in
  Makefile.
