[PATCH net-next v1 3/8] net: netconsole: move newline trimming to function

[Matthew Wood]

Move newline trimming logic from `dev_name_store()` to a new function
(trim_newline()) for shared use in netconsole.c

I was unable to find another useable version of this functionality that
wasn't private to another driver (E.g.
tools/testing/selftests/pidfd/pidfd_fdinfo_test.c)
