Actually, this should not be configurable. We should simply enable
console during suspend for consoles that can handle this,
automatically.... this patch does just that. I hope I separated it
correctly.

It may be that something else than netconsole is broken during
suspend... but it should not be, we were running without suspending
consoles for quite long; we can always fix it when we hit the bug.
