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.
