When process_resume_target() catches a device that was unregistered
while the target was off target_list, it calls do_netpoll_cleanup() to
release the reference but leaves the cached np.dev_name in place. The
other cleanup path, netconsole_process_cleanups_core(), already wipes
dev_name for MAC-bound targets because the name was only a cache of the
device that last carried the MAC and may no longer match.

The pattern is the same in both spots, so fold it into a small helper
netcons_release_dev() and route both call sites through it. This makes
the resume-window cleanup consistent with the notifier-driven one so a
later enable does not let netpoll_setup() pick a stale interface by name
when the user bound the target by MAC.
