[PATCH net-next v2 1/4] netconsole: Warn if MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS limit is exceeded

[Breno Leitao]

netconsole configfs helpers doesn't allow the creation of more than
MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS items.

Add a warning when netconsole userdata update function attempts sees
more than MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS entries.

Replace silent ignore mechanism with WARN_ON_ONCE() to highlight
potential misuse during development and debugging.
