From: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: netconsole: switch init_netconsole() to late_initcall if build-in
Commit 88491d8 ("drivers/net: Kconfig & Makefile cleanup") causes a
regression that netconsole does not work if netconsole and network device
driver are build into kernel, because netconsole is linked before network
device driver.
Andrew Morton suggested to fix this with initcall ordering. Fixes it by
switching init_netconsole() to late_initcall.
