Subject: [PATCH 10/16] netconsole: introduce netconsole_mutex
console_lock protects the target_list itself and setting and clearing
of its ->enabled flag; however, nothing protects the overall
enable/disable operations which we'll need to make netconsole
management more dynamic for the scheduled reliable transmission
support. Also, an earlier patch introduced a small race window where
dynamic console disable may compete against asynchronous disable
kicked off from netdevice_notifier.
This patch adds netconsole_mutex which protects all target
create/destroy and enable/disable operations. It also replaces
netconsole_target->mutex used by dynamic consoles. The above
mentioned race is removed by this change.
