net: netpoll: ensure skb_pool list is always initialized

Browse Source 
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 netconsole=4444@10.0.0.1/br0,9353@10.0.0.2/
    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().
