[LTP] [PATCH 6/6] ima/ima_violations: Temporarily remove the printk rate limit

[Jia Zhang <zhang.jia@linux.alibaba.com>]

The output frequency of audit log is limited by printk_ratelimit()
in kernel if auditd not used. Thus, the test heavily depending on
searching keywords in log file may fail if the matching patterns
are exactly suppressed by printk_ratelimit().

In order to fix such a sort of failure, just temporarily remove
the limit, and recover its setting at the end of test.
