Subject: [PATCH -net v2 0/2] net: netpoll and netconsole fixes 

Hi,
This small patchset fixes a possible race condition in netpoll_cleanup
which can lead to a NULL pointer dereference because the check and
manipulation of np->dev are done outside of the rtnl lock (patch 01).
The second patch fixes a deadlock in netconsole and does a trivial comment
style fix.

v2: fix the function style in patch 01

Best regards,
 Nikolay Aleksandrov
