Initially netpoll and netconsole were created together, and some
functions are in the wrong file. Seperate netconsole-only functions
in netconsole, avoiding exports.
1. Expose netpoll logging macros in the public header to enable consistent
log formatting across netpoll consumers.
2. Relocate netconsole-specific functions from netpoll to the netconsole
module where they are actually used, reducing unnecessary coupling.
3. Remove unnecessary function exports
4. Rename netpoll parsing functions in netconsole to better reflect their
specific usage.
5. Create a test to check that cmdline works fine. This was in my todo
list since [1], this was a good time to add it here to make sure this
patchset doesn't regress.
PS: The code was split in a way that it is easy to review. When copying
the functions from netpoll to netconsole, I do not change than other
than adding `static`. This will make checkpatch unhappy, but, further
patches will address the issues. It is done this way to make it easy for
reviewers.

2.47.1
During performance analysis of console subsystem latency, I discovered that
netconsole registers console handlers even when no active targets exist.
These orphaned console handlers are invoked on every printk() call, get
the lock, iterate through empty target lists, and consume CPU cycles
without performing any useful work.
This patch series addresses the inefficiency by:
1. Implementing dynamic console registration/unregistration based on target
availability, ensuring console handlers are only active when needed
2. Adding automatic cleanup of unused console registrations when targets
are disabled or removed
3. Extending the selftest suite to cover non-extended console format,
which was previously untested
The optimization reduces printk() overhead by eliminating unnecessary
function calls and list traversals when netconsole targets are not
configured, improving overall system performance during heavy logging
scenarios.

Changes in v3:
- Set CON_ENABLED before re-enabling the console, to fix a selftest that
was failing, as reported by Jakub on v2.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250602-netcons_ext-v2-0-ef88d999326d@debian.org
Changes in v2:
- Added selftests to test the new mechanism
- Unregister the console if the last target got disabled
- Sending to net-next instead of net (Jakub)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250528-netcons_ext-v1-1-69f71e404e00@debian.org

This started with a patch that enabled `clippy::ptr_as_ptr`. Benno
Lossin suggested I also look into `clippy::ptr_cast_constness` and I
discovered `clippy::as_ptr_cast_mut`. This series now enables all 3
lints. It also enables `clippy::as_underscore` which ensures other
pointer casts weren't missed.
As a later addition, `clippy::cast_lossless` and `clippy::ref_as_ptr`
are also enabled.
This series depends on "rust: retain pointer mut-ness in
`container_of!`"[1].
