4.2.8-ckt3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me 
know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Jamie Bainbridge <jamie.bainbri...@gmail.com>

commit ec7147a99e33a9e4abad6fc6e1b40d15df045d53 upstream.

Under some conditions, CIFS can repeatedly call the cifs_dbg() logging
wrapper. If done rapidly enough, the console framebuffer can softlockup
or "rcu_sched self-detected stall". Apply the built-in log ratelimiters
to prevent such hangs.
