    fs: clarify rate limit suppressed buffer I/O errors · 432f16e6

    When quiet_error applies rate limiting to buffer_io_error calls, what the
    they apply to is unclear because the name is so generic, particularly
    if the messages are interleaved with others:
    
    [ 1936.063572] quiet_error: 664293 callbacks suppressed
    [ 1936.065297] Buffer I/O error on dev sdr, logical block 257429952, lost async page write
    [ 1936.067814] Buffer I/O error on dev sdr, logical block 257429953, lost async page write
    
    Also, the function uses printk_ratelimit(), although printk.h includes a
    comment advising "Please don't use... Instead use printk_ratelimited()."
    
    Change buffer_io_error to check the BH_Quiet bit itself, drop the
    printk_ratelimit call, and print using printk_ratelimited.
    
    This makes the messages look like:
    
    [  387.208839] buffer_io_error: 676394 callbacks suppressed
    [  387.210693] Buffer I/O error on dev sdr, logical block 211291776, lost async page write
    [  387.213432] Buffer I/O error on dev sdr, logical block 211291777, lost async page write
