Subject: [PATCH] netconsole: fix BUG during net device "upping"

When ndo_open (eg skge_up) function printks something, netconsole decides
it can use this device because it checks state only (netif_running) which is
set before ndo_open. Check device flags too.

[35437.623796] note: ip[12711] exited with preempt_count 3

I could reliably trigger it by:
ifconfig eth0 down; while [ true ]; do ifconfig eth1 down; ifconfig eth1 up; done

Netconsole oopsed that way since at least 2.6.22 (oldest kernel I tried).

Fixes bug 12160.
