Subject: [PATCH 3.4 5/9] net: Add net_ratelimited_function and net_<level>_ratelimited macros

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Joe Perches <joe@...ches.com>

commit 3a3bfb61e64476ff1e4ac3122cb6dec9c79b795c upstream.

__ratelimit() can be considered an inverted bool test because
it returns true when not ratelimited.  Several tests in the
kernel tree use this __ratelimit() function incorrectly.

No net_ratelimit uses are incorrect currently though.

Most uses of net_ratelimit are to log something via printk or
pr_<level>.

In order to minimize the uses of net_ratelimit, and to start
standardizing the code style used for __ratelimit() and net_ratelimit(),
add a net_ratelimited_function() macro and net_<level>_ratelimited()
logging macros similar to pr_<level>_ratelimited that use the global
net_ratelimit instead of a static per call site "struct ratelimit_state".
