printk_periodic reads like a thing that would create a
thread to printk a message every period.

And trivially, period should be copied to a temporary
and not be reused (use your choice of # of underscores)

	unsigned long _period = period;
	unsigned long _now = now;
	static unsigned long _prev __read_mostly = etc...
