Yes. When @netconsole_ext is registered, CON_ENABLED is always set. So
it should be set in the static initialization. The first hunk should be
using the new console_is_registered(). The second hunk should be using a
local @extended bool variable. Also, in cleanup_netconsole() it should
check if the console is registered:
if (console_is_registered(&netconsole_ext))
unregister_console(&netconsole_ext);
I will make all of these changes for v3. Then there will be no
checking/setting of CON_ENABLED in the driver.
