I don't think we want spinlock_t's definition being sucked
into kernel.h's dependency food chain.

Even if desirable, I think it'd be quite a bit of surgery,
too much to do at this stage.

So for now how about we make the ratelimit warn interfaces be a true,
instead of a pseudo, dependency on ratelimit.h by moving those
definitions into ratelimit.h?
