PATCH 1/1 pstore/ram: Rate-limit "uncorrectable error in header" message

From: Dmitry Osipenko <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 7db688e99c0f770ae73e0f1f3fb67f9b64266445 ]

There is a quite huge "uncorrectable error in header" flood in KMSG on a clean system boot since there is no pstore buffer saved in RAM. Let's silence the redundant noisy messages by rate-limiting the printk message. Now there are maximum 10 messages printed repeatedly instead of 35+.
