Attempt to resume a previously deactivated target when the associated interface comes back (NETDEV_UP event is received) by calling __netpoll_setup_hold on the device.
Depending on how the target was setup (by mac or interface name), the corresponding field is compared with the device being brought up.
Targets that are candidates for resuming are removed from the target list and added to a temporarily list, as __netpoll_setup_hold might allocate. __netpoll_setup_hold assumes RTNL is held (which is guaranteed to be the case when handling the event) and holds a reference to the device in case of success. This reference will be removed upon target (or netconsole) removal by netpoll_cleanup.
Target transitions to STATE_DISABLED in case of failures resuming it to avoid retrying the same target indefinitely.
