netconsole: convert to NBCON console infrastructure

Convert netconsole from the legacy console API to the NBCON framework.
NBCON provides threaded printing which unblocks printk()s and flushes in
a thread, decoupling network TX from printk() when netconsole is
in use.

Since netconsole relies on the network stack which cannot safely operate
from all atomic contexts, mark both consoles with
CON_NBCON_ATOMIC_UNSAFE. (See discussion in [1])

CON_NBCON_ATOMIC_UNSAFE restricts write_atomic() usage to emergency
scenarios (panic) where regular messages are sent in threaded mode.

Implementation changes:
- Unify write_ext_msg() and write_msg() into netconsole_write()
- Add device_lock/device_unlock callbacks to manage target_list_lock
- Use nbcon_enter_unsafe()/nbcon_exit_unsafe() around network
  operations.
  - If nbcon_enter_unsafe() fails, just return given netconsole lost
    the ownership of the console.
- Set write_thread and write_atomic callbacks (both use same function)
