[PATCH net-next v2 3/6] netconsole: reject enabling a target with no remote IP address

[Gustavo Luiz Duarte]

The command-line path already requires a remote address, but if a user
creates a dynamic target and enables it without setting a remote
address, we currently try sending netconsole traffic to "0.0.0.0".

Refuse to enable a target if the remote address is unset.
