[PATCH] bonding: rate-limit bonding driver inspect messages

[Praveen Kumar Kannoju]

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.

v2: Use exising net_ratelimit() instead of introducing new rate-limit
parameter.

v3: Commit message is modified to provide summary of the issue, because of
which rate-limiting the bonding driver messages is needed.
