Subject: [PATCH  3/3] locking/csd-lock: Use backoff for repeated reports of same incident

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...nel.org>

Currently, the CSD-lock diagnostics in CONFIG_CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG=y
kernels are emitted at five-second intervals.  Although this has proven
to be a good time interval for the first diagnostic, if the target CPU
keeps interrupts disabled for way longer than five seconds, the ratio
of useful new information to pointless repetition increases considerably.

Therefore, back off the time period for repeated reports of the same
incident, increasing linearly with the number of reports and logarithmicly
with the number of online CPUs.

[ paulmck: Apply Dan Carpenter feedback. ]
