[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9] pstore/ram: Rate-limit "uncorrectable error in header" message

[Sasha Levin]

From: Dmitry Osipenko <digetx@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 7db688e99c0f770ae73e0f1f3fb67f9b64266445 ]

There is a quite huge "uncorrectable error in header" flood in KMSG
on a clean system boot since there is no pstore buffer saved in RAM.
Let's silence the redundant noisy messages by rate-limiting the printk
message. Now there are maximum 10 messages printed repeatedly instead
of 35+.
