Subject: [PATCH 5.16 0566/1017] hv_balloon: rate-limit "Unhandled message" warning

From: Anssi Hannula <anssi.hannula@...wise.fi>

[ Upstream commit 1d7286729aa616772be334eb908e11f527e1e291 ]

For a couple of times I have encountered a situation where

  hv_balloon: Unhandled message: type: 12447

is being flooded over 1 million times per second with various values,
filling the log and consuming cycles, making debugging difficult.

Add rate limiting to the message.

Most other Hyper-V drivers already have similar rate limiting in their
message callbacks.

The cause of the floods in my case was probably fixed by 96d9d1fa5cd5
("Drivers: hv: balloon: account for vmbus packet header in
max_pkt_size").

Fixes: 9aa8b50b2b3d ("Drivers: hv: Add Hyper-V balloon driver")
