Subject: [PATCH] ext4: ratelimit the file system mounted message

The xfstests ext4/305 will mount and unmount the same file system over
4,000 times, and each one of these will cause a system log message.
Ratelimit this message since if we are getting more than a few dozen
of these messages, they probably aren't going to be helpful.
