[PATCH v6 11/11] dyndbg: RFC add print-once and print-ratelimited features. RFC.

Its tautological that having pr_debug()s with optional print-once and
rate-limiting features could be useful.  Build it, they will come.

The advantages:

- dynamically configured with flags
- can use them on existing callsites
- printonce is easy, (almost) just new flags
  no additional resources
- ratelimiting is pooled, expecting rare use
  provisioned only for enabled & ratelimited callsites
- RFC ratelimit grouping
  mostly to reduce resources
  reduces to choice of hash key: module, function, file, line

Whats done here:

Expand ddebug.flags to 11 bits, and define new flags to support
print-once and ratelimited semantics:

  echo file init/main.c +o > control	# init/main runs just once anyway
  echo module foo +r > control		# turn on ratelimiting
  echo module foo +g > control		# turn on group flag

is_onced_or_ratelimited() tests these conditions, it is called from
__dynamic_pr_debug() and others (which are all behind the '+p'
enablement test).

NB: test_dynamic_debug.ko ratelimiting test triggers reports on
is_onced_or_ratelimited() as the limited source.

PRINT-ONCE: can be done with just +2 bits in flags;

.o _DPRINTK_FLAGS_ONCE     enables state test and set
.P _DPRINTK_FLAGS_PRINTED  state bit

Just adding the flags lets the existing code operate on them.
We will need new code to enforce constraints on flag combos;
'+ro' is nonsense, but this can wait, or can take a new meaning.

RATE-LIMITING:

.r _DPRINTK_FLAGS_RATELIMITED - track & limit prdbgs callrate

We wait until a prdebug is called, and if RATELIMITED is set, THEN
lookup a RateLimitState (RL) for it.  If found, bump its state and
return true/false, otherwise create & initialize one and return false.

RFC: GROUP-FLAG:

.g _DPRINTK_FLAGS_GROUPED

Currently, the hash-key is just the prdebug descriptor, so is unique
per prdebug.  With the 'g' flag, we could use a different key, for
example desc->site.function, to get a shared ratelimit for whole
functions.

This gets subtly different behavior at the ratelimit transition, but
it is predictable for a given function (except perhaps recursive, but
thats not done anyway).

Note also that any function can have a single group of prdebugs, plus
any number of prdbgs without 'g', either with or without 'r'.  So
grouping should be flexible enough to use advantageously.
