Create configfs machinery for netconsole userdata appending, which depends on CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC (for configfs interface). Add a userdata config_group to netconsole_target for managing userdata entries as a tree under the netconsole configfs subsystem. Directory names created under the userdata directory become userdatum keys; the userdatum value is the content of the value file. Include the minimum-viable-changes for userdata configfs config_group. init_target_config_group() ties in the complete configfs machinery to avoid unused func/variable errors during build. Initializing the netconsole_target->group is moved to init_target_config_group, which will also init and add the userdata config_group. Each userdatum entry has a limit of 256 bytes (54 for the key/directory, 200 for the value, and 2 for '=' and '\n' characters), which is enforced by the configfs functions for updating the userdata config_group. When a new netconsole_target is created, initialize the userdata config_group and add it as a default group for netconsole_target config_group, allowing the userdata configfs sub-tree to be presented in the netconsole configfs tree under the userdata directory.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
