netconsole: Only register console drivers when targets are configured

The netconsole driver currently registers the basic console driver
unconditionally during initialization, even when only extended targets
are configured. This results in unnecessary console registration and
performance overhead, as the write_msg() callback is invoked for every
log message only to return early when no matching targets are found.

Optimize the driver by conditionally registering console drivers based
on the actual target configuration. The basic console driver is now
registered only when non-extended targets exist, same as the extended
console. The implementation also handles dynamic target creation through
the configfs interface.

This change eliminates unnecessary console driver registrations,
redundant write_msg() callbacks for unused console types, and associated
lock contention and target list iterations. The optimization is
particularly beneficial for systems using only the most common extended
console type.
