[PATCH] Add printk_timed_ratelimit() 

printk_ratelimit() has global state which makes it not useful for callers
which wish to perform ratelimiting at a particular frequency.

Add a printk_timed_ratelimit() which utilises caller-provided state storage to
permit more flexibility.

This function can in fact be used for things other than printk ratelimiting
and is perhaps poorly named.
