Subject: [PATCH] USB: class: cdc-wdm: Fix CPU lockup caused by excessive log
 messages

The syzbot fuzzer found that the interrupt-URB completion callback in
the cdc-wdm driver was taking too long, and the driver's immediate
resubmission of interrupt URBs with -EPROTO status combined with the
dummy-hcd emulation to cause a CPU lockup:


cdc_wdm 1-1:1.0: nonzero urb status received: -71
cdc_wdm 1-1:1.0: wdm_int_callback - 0 bytes
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 26s! [syz-executor782:6625]
CPU#0 Utilization every 4s during lockup:
	#1:  98% system,	  0% softirq,	  3% hardirq,	  0% idle
	#2:  98% system,	  0% softirq,	  3% hardirq,	  0% idle
	#3:  98% system,	  0% softirq,	  3% hardirq,	  0% idle
	#4:  98% system,	  0% softirq,	  3% hardirq,	  0% idle
	#5:  98% system,	  1% softirq,	  3% hardirq,	  0% idle

Testing showed that the problem did not occur if the two error
messages -- the first two lines above -- were removed; apparently adding
material to the kernel log takes a surprisingly large amount of time.

In any case, the best approach for preventing these lockups and to
avoid spamming the log with thousands of error messages per second is
to ratelimit the two dev_err() calls.  Therefore we replace them with
dev_err_ratelimited().
