When both CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV and CONFIG_NETCONSOLE are defined the
user can have stdout set to nc (netconsole).

This causes problems because u-boot will try to write to nc as soon as
GD_FLG_DEVINIT is set in gd->flags, which happens before the network devices
are initialized in net/eth.c.  This results in error messages being spewed
out.

To prevent this problem set GD_FLG_DEVINIT in net/eth.c:eth_initialize(), after
the network devices have been initialized, instead of in
common/console.c:console_init_r().
