serial8250: ratelimit "too much work" error
Running a serial console, if too many kernel messages are generated within
a short time causing a lot of serial I/O, the 8250 driver will generate
another kernel message reporting this, which just adds to the I/O. It has
a cascading effect and quickly results the system being brought to its knees
by a flood of "too much work" messages.
Ratelimit the error message to avoid this.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: printk_ratelimited() needs ratelimit.h]
