Subject: [PATCH 6/7] netconsole: make all dynamic netconsoles share a mutex

Currently, each dynamic netconsole_target uses its own separate mutex
to synchronize the configuration operations.  This patch replaces the
per-netconsole_target mutexes with a single mutex -
dynamic_netconsole_mutex.  The reduced granularity doesn't hurt
anything, the code is minutely simpler and this'd allow adding
operations which should be synchronized across all dynamic
netconsoles.
