Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/2] net: selftest: Introduce netconsole
 torture test

Create a netconsole test that puts a lot of pressure on the netconsole
list manipulation. Do it by creating dynamic targets and deleting
targets while messages are being sent. Also put interface down while the

In order to do it, refactor create_dynamic_target(), so it can be used to
create random targets in the torture test.

Changes in v2:
- Reuse the netconsole creation from lib_netcons.sh. Thus, refactoring
  the create_dynamic_target() (Jakub)
- Move the "wait" to after all the messages has been sent.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250902-netconsole_torture-v1-1-03c6066598e9@debian.org
