The SCTP protocol has several deprecation warnings in its setsockopt path that
can be triggered by unprivlidged users.  Since these are not ratelimited, we can
spam the logs quite easily here.  Since these are all deprecation warnings, and
that type of warning isn't uncommon in the rest of the kernel, lets make a
common pr_warn_deprecated macro to produce somewhat generalized ratelimited
deprecation warnings easily

[...]

No objection to these changes, but I think deprecation warnings should
log at least the command name and maybe also the pid of the caller.

I didn't change the contents of the strings in this patch, I just wanted to
avoid log spamming, but I think adding caller pid/name is a good idea.  I'll do
that in a followon patch after the holidays
