[PATCH net-next v2] selftests: netconsole: Validate interface selection by MAC address

[PATCH net-next v2] selftests: netconsole: Validate interface selection by MAC address

[Andre Carvalho]

Extend the existing netconsole cmdline selftest to also validate that
interface selection can be performed via MAC address.

The test now validates that netconsole works with both interface name
and MAC address, improving test coverage.

Changes in v2:
- Redirect log line to stderr
- Do not ignore error unloading the module between test cases
- Remove nested quotes when building cmdline for module
- Format comments to avoid exceeding 80 columns
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250811-netcons-cmdline-selftest-v1-1-1f725ab020fa@gmail.com
