Subject: [PATCH 5.4 183/240] dma-debug: make things less spammy under memory pressure

From: Rob Clark <robdclark@...omium.org>

[ Upstream commit e19f8fa6ce1ca9b8b934ba7d2e8f34c95abc6e60 ]

Limit the error msg to avoid flooding the console.  If you have a lot of
threads hitting this at once, they could have already gotten passed the
dma_debug_disabled() check before they get to the point of allocation
failure, resulting in quite a lot of this error message spamming the
log.  Use pr_err_once() to limit that.
