[PATCH][next] mtdblock: make warning messages ratelimited

From: Colin Ian King
Date: Wed Jul 19 2023 - 06:34:02 EST


When exercising various dev interfaces with stress-ng the mtdblock drivers
can be (ab)used to generate a lot of warning messages. Make these rate
limited to reduce the kernel log from being spammed with the same messages.
