[PATCH net-next 3/3] net: netconsole: Disable target before netpoll cleanup

[Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org>]

Currently, netconsole cleans up the netpoll structure before disabling
the target. This approach can lead to race conditions, as message
senders (write_ext_msg() and write_msg()) check if the target is
enabled before using netpoll.

This patch reverses the order of operations:
1. Disable the target
2. Clean up the netpoll structure

This change eliminates the potential race condition, ensuring that
no messages are sent through a partially cleaned-up netpoll structure.
