[PATCH 5.15 139/204] panic: Introduce warn_limit

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

commit 9fc9e278a5c0b708eeffaf47d6eb0c82aa74ed78 upstream.

Like oops_limit, add warn_limit for limiting the number of warnings when
panic_on_warn is not set.

+Number of kernel warnings after which the kernel should panic when
+``panic_on_warn`` is not set. Setting this to 0 disables checking
+the warning count. Setting this to 1 has the same effect as setting
+``panic_on_warn=1``. The default value is 0.
