Subject: [patch 2.6.27-rc5] net/usb/pegasus.c -- avoid hundreds of diagnostics

From: David Brownell <dbrownell@...rs.sourceforge.net>

Make the "pegasus" driver scream less loudly in the face of
problems as it initializes, avoiding hundreds of messages:

 - ratelimit some key error messages
 - avoid some spurious diagnostics caused by strange codeflow

And fix one instance of goofy indentation.
