netconsole: Attach cmdline target to dynamic target

Browse source 
Enable the attachment of a dynamic target to the target created during
boot time. The boot-time targets are named as "cmdline\d", where "\d" is
a number starting at 0.

If the user creates a dynamic target named "cmdline0", it will attach to
the first target created at boot time (as defined in the
`netconsole=...` command line argument). `cmdline1` will attach to the
second target and so forth.

If there is no netconsole target created at boot time, then, the target
name could be reused.
