[3/9] netconsole: Simplify boot/module option setup logic

Presently, boot/module parameters are set up quite differently for the
case of built-in netconsole (__setup() -> obsolete_checksetup() ->
netpoll_parse_options() -> strlen(config) == 0 in init_netconsole())
vs modular netconsole (module_param_string() -> string copied to the
config variable -> strlen(config) != 0 init_netconsole() ->
netpoll_parse_options()).

This patch makes both of them similar by doing exactly the equivalent
of a module_param_string() in option_setup() also -- just copying the
param string passed from the kernel command line into "config" variable.
So, strlen(config) != 0 in both cases, and netpoll_parse_options() is
always called from init_netconsole(), thus making the setup logic for
both cases similar.

Now, option_setup() is only ever called / used for the built-in case,
so we put it inside a #ifndef MODULE, otherwise gcc will complain about
option_setup() being "defined but not used". Also, the "configured"
variable is redundant with this patch and hence removed.
