Title:
  ratelimit cma_alloc messages

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in linux source package in Disco:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  As described in bug 1823753, failures to allocate DMA out of CMA space can 
result in ~10K cma_alloc() error messages. While non-fatal (the code falls back 
to allocating memory out of non-CMA space), the error messages themselves can 
be a problem - esp. for systems w/ slow consoles like the HP m400 (9600 baud). 
It slows down boot so much that MAAS deploys fail due to timeout.

  [Test Case]
  Boot the disco kernel on an HP m400 or a HiSilicon D06 w/ the SMMU disabled 
in the BIOS.

  [Fix]
  Ratelimit the messages.

  [Regression Risk]
  Minimal - we're just attempting to quiescing log spew.
