[PATCH 2/2] lib/ratelimit: Lockless ratelimiting

Currently ratelimit_state is protected with spin_lock. If the .lock is
taken at the moment of ___ratelimit() call, the message is suppressed to
make ratelimiting robust.
That results in the following issue issue:
CPU0 CPU1
------------------ ------------------
printk_ratelimit() printk_ratelimit()
| |
try_spin_lock() try_spin_lock()
| |
time_is_before_jiffies() return 0; // suppress
So, concurrent call of ___ratelimit() results in silently suppressing
one of the messages, regardless if the limit is reached or not.
And rc->missed is not increased in such case so the issue is covered
from user.
Convert ratelimiting to use atomic counters and drop spin_lock.
Note: in the rare corner-case when (rs->burst == 0) and concurrent
access suppressed message might be printed from both (several) CPUs,
that are accessing ratelimit.
Note: That might be unexpected, but with the first interval of messages
storm one can print up to burst*2 messages. So, it doesn't guarantee
that in *any* interval amount of messages is lesser than burst.
But, that differs lightly from previous behavior where one can start
burst=5 interval and print 4 messages on the last milliseconds of
interval + new 5 messages from new interval (totally 9 messages in
lesser than interval value).
