The netconsole selftest relies on the availability of the netdevsim module. To ensure the test can run correctly, we need to check if the netdevsim module is either loaded or built-in before proceeding. Update the netconsole selftest to check for the existence of the /sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device file before running the test. If the file is not found, the test is skipped with an explanation that the CONFIG_NETDEVSIM kernel config option may not be enabled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
