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

Series applied, thanks Neil.

Please consider Ben's suggestion to provide the offending command string
in the log output.
Of course, I'll take care of it this week after I dig through all the holiday
email.
Neil
