[PATCH net v5 4/4] netconsole: stop waiting for carrier once the device is unregistered

[Gustavo Luiz Duarte <gustavold@gmail.com>]

netcons_netpoll_setup() releases RTNL and waits in netcons_wait_carrier()
for up to carrier_timeout seconds for the device to report carrier. If
the device is unregistered in the meantime, the loop keeps polling until
the timeout expires.

Stop waiting as soon as the device is no longer NETREG_REGISTERED.
