Subject: [PATCH net-next v4] bonding: rate-limit bonding driver inspect messages

Through the routine bond_mii_monitor(), bonding driver inspects and commits
the slave state changes. During the times when slave state change and
failure in aqcuiring rtnl lock happen at the same time, the routine
bond_mii_monitor() reschedules itself to come around after 1 msec to commit
the new state.

During this, it executes the routine bond_miimon_inspect() to re-inspect
the state chane and prints the corresponding slave state on to the console.
Hence we do see a message at every 1 msec till the rtnl lock is acquired
and state chage is committed.

This patch doesn't change how bond functions. It only simply limits this
kind of log flood.

v4:
  - Rectification in the patch subject and versioning details.
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240219133721.4567-1-praveen.kannoju@oracle.com/
  - Commit message is modified to provide summary of the issue, because of
    which rate-limiting the bonding driver messages is needed.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240215172554.4211-1-praveen.kannoju@oracle.com/
  - Use exising net_ratelimit() instead of introducing new rate-limit
    parameter.
