[PATCH] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Ratelimit event dump

[Jean-Philippe Brucker <jean-philippe@linaro.org>]

When a device or driver misbehaves, it is possible to receive DMA fault
events much faster than we can print them out, causing a lock up of the
system and inability to cancel the source of the problem. Ratelimit
printing of events to help recovery.

Aiming for v5.14 rather than 5.13, since it mainly fixes a nuisance
during development/debug. Conflicts with "iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Add stall
support for platform devices" currently on the list [1], because they
both change arm_smmu_evtq_thread(). This patch is based onto [1].

I encountered this while developing SVA on hardware, although the
problem is not specific to SVA or stall. The device driver didn't
properly stop DMA, and the SMMU would flood the event queue with
translation faults. Without rate limiting I was unable to even reset the
device. Note that this is not a problem for normal SVA operations, since
userspace cannot cause DMA to print kernel messages.

Aaro Koskinen reported a similar problem [2]
