This input device can get into a state that produces a high
volume of device status errors. Attempt to throttle these
error messages such that the kernel log is not flooded.

Only 2 of these printks need to be rate-limited, as other failures are
fatal to the driver since it will not resubmit the IO.

Also I think we need to try and resubmit control URB to try and execute
buzzer command if previous one failed.

BTW, EPROTO/EILSEQ errors mentioned in the launchpad bug seem to relate
to timeout/CRC errors reported by the host controller, so it must indeed
be the extender that is misbehaving.

Thanks.
