[PATCH] power_supply: sysfs: ratelimit property read error message

[David Lechner <david@lechnology.com>]

This adds ratelimiting to the message that is printed when reading a
power supply property via sysfs returns an error. This will prevent
userspace applications from unintentionally dDOSing the system by
continuosuly reading a property that returns an error.
