[PATCH net-next v3 3/5] netconsole: allow configuring the rate limit interval through configfs

[Breno Leitao]

The per-target token bucket has no interface, so every target is still
unlimited.

Expose the interval as ratelimit_interval_ms through configfs. It
defaults to zero, so a target stays unlimited until an administrator
sets one.

The write restarts the interval instead of only publishing the new
value. A target is configured while it floods, by which point the
bucket is empty, and ___ratelimit() only refills it once the interval
it was set with has elapsed.

Reject more than INT_MAX milliseconds. msecs_to_jiffies() saturates at
MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET, which is below INT_MAX on 32-bit, so checking only
the jiffies value would take a write there that a 64-bit kernel turns
down.
