Commit 88491d8(drivers/net: Kconfig & Makefile cleanup) causes a
regression that netconsole does not work if netconsole and network
device driver are build into kernel, because netconsole is linked before
network device driver.

Fixes it by moving netconsole.o after network device driver.

It would be preferable to fix this with initcall ordering.  Perhaps by
switching init_netconsole() to subsys_initcall.
