Subject: [PATCH v2 02/10] powerpc/traps: Return early in show_signal_msg()

Modify the logic of show_signal_msg() to return early, if possible.
Replace printk_ratelimited() by printk() and a default rate limit burst to
limit displaying unhandled signals messages.

Mainly reason of this change is to improve readability of the function.
The conditions to display the message were coupled together in one single
`if` statement.

Splitting out the rate limit check outside show_signal_msg() makes it
easier to the caller decide if it wants to respect a printk rate limit or
not.
