netconsole: Create a allocation helper

De-duplicate the initialization and allocation code for struct
netconsole_target.

The same allocation and initialization code is duplicated in two
different places in the netconsole subsystem, when the netconsole target
is initialized by command line parameters (alloc_param_target()), and
dynamically by sysfs (make_netconsole_target()).

Create a helper function, and call it from the two different functions.
