[PATCH] netconsole: various improvements

[Tony Dinh <mibodhi@gmail.com>]

- When Netconsole is running, stdin/stdout/stderr are set to nc. Reset
stdin/stdout/stderr to serial (a sane deffault) before booting kernel.
- Enable net_timeout when netconsole starts will give a better user
experience if netconsole server is not running.
