Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] netconsole: Use kstrtobool() instead of kstrtoint()

Replace kstrtoint() by kstrtobool() in the sysfs _store() functions.
This improves the user usability and simplify the code.

With this fix, it is now possible to use [YyNn] to set and unset a
feature. Old behaviour is still unchanged.

kstrtobool() is also safer and doesn't need the extra validation that
is required when converting a string to bool (end field in the struct),
which makes the code simpler.
