3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Amerigo Wang <amw...@redhat.com>

commit 72d3eb13b5c0abe7d63efac41f39c5b644c7bbaa upstream.

This netconsole_target_put() is obviously redundant, and it
causes a kernel segfault when removing a bridge device which has
netconsole running on it.

This is caused by:

        commit 8d8fc29d02a33e4bd5f4fa47823c1fd386346093
        Author: Amerigo Wang <amw...@redhat.com>
        Date:   Thu May 19 21:39:10 2011 +0000

            netpoll: disable netpoll when enslave a device
