Subject: [PATCH v2 v4.2-rc1] printk: make extended printk support conditional
 on netconsole

6fe29354befe ("printk: implement support for extended console
drivers") implemented extended printk support for extended netconsole.
The code added was miniscule but it added static 8k buffer
unconditionally unnecessarily bloating the kernel for cases where
extended netconsole is not used.

This patch introduces CONFIG_PRINTK_CON_EXTENDED which is selected by
CONFIG_NETCONSOLE.  If the config option is not set, extended printk
support is compiled out along with the static buffer.

Verified 8k reduction in vmlinux bss when !CONFIG_NETCONSOLE.

v2: Added a warning for cases where CON_EXTENDED is requested while
    CONFIG_PRINTK_CON_EXTENDED is disabled as suggested by Petr.
