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.

Hi Breno,
This function returns err.
However, clang-16 W=1 and Smatch warn that there is a case
where this may occur without err having being initialised.

That can really happen, if we get into this function:
if (*target_config == 'r') {
if (!nt->extended) {
pr_err("Netconsole configuration error. Release feature requires extended log message");
goto fail;
fail:
return ERR_PTR(err);
Let me update it.
