Subject: [PATCH net] netconsole: fix appending sysdata when sysdata_fields
 == SYSDATA_RELEASE

Before appending sysdata, prepare_extradata() checks if any feature is
enabled in sysdata_fields (and exits early if none is enabled).

When SYSDATA_RELEASE was introduced, we missed adding it to the list of
features being checked against sysdata_fields in prepare_extradata().
The result was that, if only SYSDATA_RELEASE is enabled in
sysdata_fields, we incorreclty exit early and fail to append the
release.

Instead of checking specific bits in sysdata_fields, check if
sysdata_fields has ALL bit zeroed and exit early if true. This fixes
case when only SYSDATA_RELEASE enabled and makes the code more general /
less error prone in future feature implementation.
