[PATCH v3 2/8] pstore: Warn on PSTORE_TYPE_PMSG using deprecated function

From: Kees Cook
Date: Fri Nov 11 2016 - 17:28:07 EST


From: Joel Fernandes <joelaf@xxxxxxxxxx>

PMSG now uses ramoops_pstore_write_buf_user() instead of ...write_buf().
Print a ratelimited warning if gets accidentally called.
