Subject: [PATCH printk v3 32/40] netconsole: avoid CON_ENABLED misuse to track registration

The CON_ENABLED flag is being misused to track whether or not the
extended console should be or has been registered. Instead use
a local variable to decide if the extended console should be
registered and console_is_registered() to determine if it has
been registered.

Also add a check in cleanup_netconsole() to only unregister the
extended console if it has been registered.
