[PATCH] i2c-smbus: Don't report duplicate alerts

[minyard@acm.org]

From: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com>

Getting the same alert twice in a row is legal and normal,
especially on a fast device (like running in qemu).  Kind of
like interrupts.  So don't report duplicate alerts, and deliver
them normally.
