[PATCH] lockdown: ratelimit denial messages

[Nathan Lynch]

User space can flood the log with lockdown denial messages:

[  662.555584] Lockdown: bash: debugfs access is restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7
[  662.563237] Lockdown: bash: debugfs access is restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7
[  662.571134] Lockdown: bash: debugfs access is restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7
[  662.578668] Lockdown: bash: debugfs access is restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7
[  662.586021] Lockdown: bash: debugfs access is restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7
[  662.593398] Lockdown: bash: debugfs access is restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7

Ratelimiting these shouldn't meaningfully degrade the quality of the
information logged.
