net: netpoll: ensure skb_pool list is always initialized
When __netpoll_setup() is called directly, instead of through
netpoll_setup(), the np->skb_pool list head isn't initialized.
If skb_pool_flush() is later called, then we hit a NULL pointer
in skb_queue_purge_reason(). This can be seen with this repro,
when CONFIG_NETCONSOLE is enabled as a module:
ip tuntap add mode tap tap0
ip link add name br0 type bridge
ip link set dev tap0 master br0
modprobe netconsole [email protected]/br0,[email protected]/
rmmod netconsole
The backtrace is:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008
#PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page
... ... ...

Move the skb_pool list setup and initial skb fill into __netpoll_setup().
