[RFC][PATCH] printk: increase devkmsg write() ratelimit

[Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky.work@gmail.com>]

	Hello,
	
	RFC

A painful subject:

I just noticed that stock systemd (no systemd debugging enabled) on my
x86 box write()-s during shutdown to devkmsg more than before, so old
devkmsg ratelimits do not apply:

$ sudo journalctl -n 40000 -f | grep "kernel: printk: systemd-shutdow"
 kernel: printk: systemd-shutdow: 35 output lines suppressed due to ratelimiting
 kernel: printk: systemd-shutdow: 31 output lines suppressed due to ratelimiting
 kernel: printk: systemd-shutdow: 35 output lines suppressed due to ratelimiting
 kernel: printk: systemd-shutdow: 36 output lines suppressed due to ratelimiting
 kernel: printk: systemd-shutdow: 36 output lines suppressed due to ratelimiting
 kernel: printk: systemd-shutdow: 36 output lines suppressed due to ratelimiting
 kernel: printk: systemd-shutdow: 36 output lines suppressed due to ratelimiting
 kernel: printk: systemd-shutdow: 35 output lines suppressed due to ratelimiting

I know that there is a "kernel.printk_devkmsg" interface; do we
expect every systemd-enabled distro to find that out and to tweak
kernel.printk_devkmsg or shall we change the default devkmsg
ratelimit instead?


=====================================================================

Every time I reboot my systemd x86_64 box:

kernel: printk: systemd-shutdow: 36 output lines suppressed due to ratelimiting

Apparently, the default ratelimit - 10 messages max, 5 * HZ
interval - is a bit too restrictive these days, can't help
it; so increase it to "50 messages, same interval" (which is
not awfully a lot).
