find_skb() is the netconsole-specific entry into the netpoll skb
pool: every other netpoll consumer (bonding, team, vlan, bridge,
macvlan, dsa) builds its own sk_buff and never touches the pool.
With netpoll_send_udp() (its only caller) now living in netconsole,
find_skb() can join it.

Move find_skb() into drivers/net/netconsole.c as a file-static
helper, drop EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(find_skb) and remove its prototype
from include/linux/netpoll.h. find_skb() drains TX completions via
netpoll_zap_completion_queue(), which is already exported in the
NETDEV_INTERNAL namespace, so netconsole picks up
MODULE_IMPORT_NS("NETDEV_INTERNAL") to consume it.

The skb pool's lifecycle (np->skb_pool, np->refill_wq, refill_skbs(),
refill_skbs_work_handler(), skb_pool_flush()) stays in netpoll: it
is initialised in __netpoll_setup() and torn down in
__netpoll_cleanup(), both of which remain netpoll's responsibility.
The refill work queued via schedule_work(&np->refill_wq) from the
moved find_skb() runs refill_skbs_work_handler() in netpoll without
any further plumbing.

This is pure code motion: the function body is unchanged and its
sole caller (netpoll_send_udp(), already moved by an earlier patch)
keeps invoking it the same way. Pre-existing concerns about
find_skb() running from NMI/printk context (zap_completion_queue()
re-entry, skb_pool spinlocks, GFP_ATOMIC allocation, fallback skb
sizing vs. MAX_SKB_SIZE, PREEMPT_RT semantics of __kfree_skb()) are
inherited as-is and are not addressed here; they predate this
series and are out of scope. Fixing them is left for follow-up
work.
