Fix a memory leak in netpoll and introduce netconsole selftests that
expose the issue when running with kmemleak detection enabled.
This patchset includes a selftest for netpoll with multiple concurrent
users (netconsole + bonding), which simulates the scenario from test[1]
that originally demonstrated the issue allegedly fixed by commit
efa95b01da18 ("netpoll: fix use after free") - a commit that is now
being reverted.
Sending this to "net" branch because this is a fix, and the selftest
might help with the backports validation.

Changes in v5:
- Set CONFIG_BONDING=m in selftests/drivers/net/config.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250917-netconsole_torture-v4-0-0a5b3b8f81ce@deb…
Changes in v4:
- Added an additional selftest to test multiple netpoll users in
parallel
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250905-netconsole_torture-v3-0-875c7febd316@deb…
Changes in v3:
- This patchset is a merge of the fix and the selftest together as
recommended by Jakub.
Changes in v2:
- Reuse the netconsole creation from lib_netcons.sh. Thus, refactoring
the create_dynamic_target() (Jakub)
- Move the "wait" to after all the messages has been sent.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250902-netconsole_torture-v1-1-03c6066598e9@deb…

We were copying the bo content the bos on the list
"xe->pinned.late.kernel_bo_present" twice on suspend.
Presumingly the intent is to copy the pinned external bos on
the first pass.
This is harmless since we (currently) should have no pinned
external bos needing copy since
a) exernal system bos don't have compressed content,
b) We do not (yet) allow pinning of VRAM bos.
Still, fix this up so that we copy pinned external bos on
the first pass. We're about to allow bos pinned in VRAM.

2.51.0
Some recent Lenovo and Inspur machines with Zhaoxin CPUs fail to create
/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 on v6.6 kernels, while the same hardware
works correctly on v5.4.
Our analysis shows that the current implementation assumes the presence of a
GPU. The backlight registration is only triggered if a GPU is detected, but on
these platforms the backlight is handled purely by the EC without any GPU.
As a result, the detection path does not create the expected backlight node.
To fix this, move the following logic:
/* Use ACPI video if available, except when native should be preferred. */
if ((video_caps & ACPI_VIDEO_BACKLIGHT) &&
!(native_available && prefer_native_over_acpi_video()))
return acpi_backlight_video;
above the if (auto_detect) *auto_detect = true; statement.
This ensures that the ACPI video backlight node is created even when no GPU is
present, restoring the correct behavior observed on older kernels.
