[PATCH 3.10 50/53] ALSA: usb-audio: Prevent printk ratelimiting from spamming kernel log while DEBUG not defined

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sander Eikelenboom <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit b7a7723513dc89f83d6df13206df55d4dc26e825 upstream.

This (widely used) construction:

if(printk_ratelimit())
	dev_dbg()

Causes the ratelimiting to spam the kernel log with the "callbacks suppressed"
message below, even while the dev_dbg it is supposed to rate limit wouldn't
print anything because DEBUG is not defined for this device.

[  533.803964] retire_playback_urb: 852 callbacks suppressed
[  538.807930] retire_playback_urb: 852 callbacks suppressed
[  543.811897] retire_playback_urb: 852 callbacks suppressed
[  548.815745] retire_playback_urb: 852 callbacks suppressed
[  553.819826] retire_playback_urb: 852 callbacks suppressed

So use dev_dbg_ratelimited() instead of this construction.
