Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.8 002/101] block: ratelimit handle_bad_sector() message

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@...ove.SAKURA.ne.jp>

[ Upstream commit f4ac712e4fe009635344b9af5d890fe25fcc8c0d ]

syzbot is reporting unkillable task [1], for the caller is failing to
handle a corrupted filesystem image which attempts to access beyond
the end of the device. While we need to fix the caller, flooding the
console with handle_bad_sector() message is unlikely useful.
