Subject: [PATCH v3] scsi: Introduce sdev_printk_ratelimited to throttle frequent printk

There would be so many same lines printed by frequent printk if one
disk went wrong, like,
[  546.185242] sd 0:1:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
[  546.185258] sd 0:1:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
[  546.185280] sd 0:1:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
[  546.185307] sd 0:1:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
[  546.185334] sd 0:1:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
[  546.185364] sd 0:1:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
[  546.185390] sd 0:1:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
[  546.185410] sd 0:1:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
For slow serial console, the frequent printk may be blocked for a
long time, and if any spin_lock has been acquired before the printk
like in scsi_request_fn, watchdog could be triggered.

Related disscussion can be found here,
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199003
And Petr brought the idea to throttle the frequent printk, it's
useless to print the same lines frequently after all.

v2: fix some typos
v3: limit the print only for the same device
