Subject: [PATCH] ratelimit files_deny_checkpointing output

Any common distribution's boot sequence causes thousands of
"<something> performed an action that cannot be checkpointed"
messages.  Kernels are known to produce other messages of interest at
times, so ratelimit the output of files_deny_checkpointing.
