[PATCH] scsi: Introduce sdev_printk_ratelimited to throttle frequent printk

[Wen Yang]

There would be so many same lines printed by frequent prink if one 
disk went wrong, like,
[  546.185242] sd 0:1:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
[  546.185258] sd 0:1:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
[  546.185280] sd 0:1:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
[  546.185307] sd 0:1:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
[  546.185334] sd 0:1:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
[  546.185364] sd 0:1:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
[  546.185390] sd 0:1:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
[  546.185410] sd 0:1:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
For slow serial console, the frequent prink may block the printk, and 
if spin_lock was acquired before the printk like in scsi_request_fn,
that could trigger the watchdog.

Relative disscussion can be found here,
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199003
And Petr brought the idea to throttle the frequent printk here, it's 
useless to print the same lines frequently after all.
