So this flag says that we should issue a ratelimit message when it occurs.

... here we print the message if the RATELIMIT_MSG_ON_RELEASE bit is set.

But here we print the message if the RATELIMIT_MSG_ON_RELEASE bit is zero.
Is that intentional?

Also, while we are changing it, I'd like to suggest a different message - it's 
talking about 'callbacks' but there's no callback here - we are skipping kernel 
log messages. So how about:

	pr_warn("%s: %d kernel log lines skipped, due to rate-limiting.\n"

Thanks,
