While investigating a bug related to higher atomic allocation failures,
we noticed the failure warnings positively drowning the console, and in
our case trigger lockup warnings because of a serial console too slow to
handle all that output.

But even if we had a faster console, it's unclear what additional
information the current level of repetition provides.

Allocation failures happen for three reasons: The machine is OOM, the VM
is failing to handle reasonable requests, or somebody is making
unreasonable requests (and didn't acknowledge their opportunism with
__GFP_NOWARN).  Having the memory dump, a callstack, and the ratelimit
stats on skipped failure warnings should provide enough information to
let users/admins/developers know whether something is wrong and point
them in the right direction for debugging, bpftracing etc.

Limit allocation failure warnings to one spew every ten seconds.
