Commit a99d876a0f58 ("node_device: Use automatic mutex management") replaced the locking mechanism and accidentally removed the comment with the reason why the lock is taken. Restore this comment and add a new comment about the lock.
Note: If the comment is/was correct, then each caller of `nodeDeviceUpdateMediatedDevices` must hold this lock. Currently, that's not the case.
