[PATCH net-next v4 1/8] netconsole: consolidate send buffers into netconsole_target struct

[Breno Leitao <leitao@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Move the static buffers from send_msg_no_fragmentation() and
send_msg_fragmented() into the netconsole_target structure. This
simplifies the code by:
- Eliminating redundant static buffers
- Centralizing buffer management in the target structure
- Reducing memory usage by 1KB (one buffer instead of two)

The buffer in netconsole_target is protected by target_list_lock,
maintaining the same synchronization semantics as the original code.
