Add a lock assertion to verify that dynamic_netconsole_mutex is held
when updating the userdata fields in the netconsole driver.
This change prevents calling update_userdata() without holding the lock,
ensuring data consistency and integrity.
The update_userdata() function is invoked only when the user changes the
configuration, so this addition does not impact performance as it is not
in the hot path.
