Subject: [PATCH v3 13/22] netpoll: Introduce netpoll_target configs

As preparation for moving netpoll_targets out of netconsole and making
them available to other clients, introduce new Kconfig options.

CONFIG_NETPOLL_TARGETS

Access to targets APIs.  Only supports parameter based parsing of
targets (via the kernel command line or module paramters).

CONFIG_NETPOLL_TARGETS_DYNAMIC

Extends the support that netpoll_targets provides by allowing for the
dynamic creation of targets in configfs on a per client basis.  This is
boolean flag used to enable dynamic support.  Specifying it without
also selecting NETPOLL_TARGETS is meaningless.

Changelog:
- v3
  - Fixed to support building netpoll_targets as a module.  It depends
    on netpoll, but netpoll itself doesn't depend on it.
    netpoll_targets will be built as a module if it is needed by either
    NETCONSOLE or NETOOPS are enabled as modules (and neither are built
    in).  CONFIGFS_FS is also only selected to be a module if that is
    possible.
