net: netconsole: Disable target before netpoll cleanup
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. The sender can validate that the target is
enabled, but, the netpoll might be de-allocated already, causing
undesired behaviours.
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.
