Subject: [PATCH 5.10 17/20] panic: Introduce warn_limit

From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

commit 9fc9e278a5c0b708eeffaf47d6eb0c82aa74ed78 upstream.

Like oops_limit, add warn_limit for limiting the number of warnings when
panic_on_warn is not set.

+Number of kernel warnings after which the kernel should panic when

+the warning count. Setting this to 1 has the same effect as setting
