When the low level interface brings a netconsole target down, record this using a new STATE_DEACTIVATED state. This allows netconsole to distinguish between targets explicitly disabled by users and those deactivated due to interface state changes.
It also enables automatic recovery and re-enabling of targets if the underlying low-level interfaces come back online.
From a code perspective, anything that is not STATE_ENABLED is disabled. Mark the device that is down due to NETDEV_UNREGISTER as STATE_DEACTIVATED, this, should be the same as STATE_DISABLED from a code perspective.
