[PATCH v3 -mm 4/9] netconsole: Use netif_running() in write_msg()

[Satyam Sharma <satyam@infradead.org>]

From: Satyam Sharma <satyam@infradead.org>

[4/9] netconsole: Use netif_running() in write_msg()

Avoid unnecessarily disabling interrupts and calling netpoll_send_udp()
if the corresponding local interface is not up.
