Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/4] netconsole: Simplify
send_fragmented_body()
Refactor send_fragmented_body() to use separate offset tracking for
msgbody, and extradata instead of complex conditional logic.
The previous implementation used boolean flags and calculated offsets
which made the code harder to follow.
The new implementation maintains independent offset counters
(msgbody_offset, extradata_offset) and processes each section
sequentially, making the data flow more straightforward and the code
easier to maintain.
This is a preparatory refactoring with no functional changes, which will
allow easily splitting extradata_complete into separate userdata and
sysdata buffers in the next patch.
