Subject: [PATCH 3.18 40/85] ALSA: usb-audio: Apply rate limit to warning messages in URB complete callback

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

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

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

[ Upstream commit 377a879d9832f4ba69bd6a1fc996bb4181b1e504 ]

retire_capture_urb() may print warning messages when the given URB
doesn't align, and this may flood the system log easily.
Put the rate limit to the message for avoiding it.
