Quiet down "SCSI parity error detected" messages on bootup

Quiet down "SCSI parity error detected" messages on bootup

[John Stoffel]

Hi,

This patch helps my system boot faster, esp when using a serial
console, since it ratelimits the "SCSI parity error detected" messages
on bootup.  I've got a dual channel card attached to an old P1000
library with two DLT70000 tape drives installed.  Works great, just
takes forever to bootup when I have tons of message spewing out.

Now they look like this:

  [   66.245351] sym0: SCSI parity error detected: SCR2=1 DBC=11000028 SBCL=ae
  [   66.327105] sym0: SCSI parity error detected: SCR2=1 DBC=11000028 SBCL=ae
  [   66.408925] sym0: SCSI parity error detected: SCR2=1 DBC=11000028 SBCL=ae
  [   66.490753] sym0: SCSI parity error detected: SCR2=1 DBC=11000028 SBCL=ae
  [   67.061737] scsi 1:0:3:0: ABORT operation started
  [   71.556526] __ratelimit: 11248 callbacks suppressed
  [   71.614935] sym0: SCSI parity error detected: SCR2=1 DBC=11000028 SBCL=ae
  [   71.696665] sym0: SCSI parity error detected: SCR2=1 DBC=11000028 SBCL=ae
  [   71.778415] sym0: SCSI parity error detected: SCR2=1 DBC=11000028 SBCL=ae
  [   71.860242] sym0: SCSI parity error detected: SCR2=1 DBC=11000028 SBCL=ae
  [   71.942065] sym0: SCSI parity error detected: SCR2=1 DBC=11000028 SBCL=ae


and it's *much* nicer.  But I'll bet this patch is space damaged when
I send it.   I'll resend it if need be from home.

Thanks.
