[PATCH v2 1/3] mm, swap: ratelimit bad swap entry reports

[Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org>]

A corrupt page table hands the same bogus entry to get_swap_device() on
every access to the mapping, and every rejection is logged. One machine
logged 6185620 copies of the same line in a few hours.

swap_dup_entry_direct() prints the same message from the fork path, once
per call: the WARN_ON_ONCE() guarding it warns once, the pr_err() inside
does not.

Rate limit all three prints.
