netpoll_send_udp can return if send was successful.
It will allow client code to be aware of the send status.
Possible return values are the result of __netpoll_send_skb (cast to int)
and -ENOMEM. This doesn't cover the case when TX was not successful
instantaneously and was scheduled for later, __netpoll__send_skb returns
success in that case.

Enhance observability of netconsole. Packet sends can fail.
Start tracking at least two failure possibilities: ENOMEM and
NET_XMIT_DROP for every target. Stats are exposed via an additional
attribute in CONFIGFS.
The exposed statistics allows easier debugging of cases when netconsole
messages were not seen by receivers, eliminating the guesswork if the
sender thinks that messages in question were sent out.
Stats are not reset on enable/disable/change remote ip/etc, they
belong to the netcons target itself.
