Merge branch 'netconsole-msgid' into main

====================
netconsole: Add support for msgid in sysdata

This patch series introduces a new feature to netconsole which allows
appending a message ID to the userdata dictionary.

If the msgid feature is enabled, the message ID is built from a per-target 32
bit counter that is incremented and appended to every message sent to the target.

Example::
  echo 1 > "/sys/kernel/config/netconsole/cmdline0/userdata/msgid_enabled"
  echo "This is message #1" > /dev/kmsg
  echo "This is message #2" > /dev/kmsg
  13,434,54928466,-;This is message #1
   msgid=1
  13,435,54934019,-;This is message #2
   msgid=2

This feature can be used by the target to detect if messages were dropped or
reordered before reaching the target. This allows system administrators to
assess the reliability of their netconsole pipeline and detect loss of messages
due to network contention or temporary unavailability.
