[PATCH] alpha: osf_sys: reduce kernel log spamming on invalid osf_mount call typenr

From: Colin Ian King <hidden>
Date: 2021-12-13 18:56:33
Also in: kernel-janitors, lkml
Subsystem: alpha port, the rest · Maintainers: Richard Henderson, Matt Turner, Magnus Lindholm, Linus Torvalds

Calling the osf_mount system call with an invalid typenr value will
spam the kernel log with error messages. Reduce the spamming by making
it a ratelimited printk.  Issue found when exercising with the stress-ng
enosys system call stressor.
