====================
net: netpoll: fix memory leak and add comprehensive selftests

Fix a memory leak in netpoll and introduce netconsole selftests that
expose the issue when running with kmemleak detection enabled.

This patchset includes a selftest for netpoll with multiple concurrent
users (netconsole + bonding), which simulates the scenario from test[1]
that originally demonstrated the issue allegedly fixed by commit
efa95b01da18 ("netpoll: fix use after free") - a commit that is now
being reverted.

Sending this to "net" branch because this is a fix, and the selftest
might help with the backports validation.
