Keep the number of messages dropped since the last report on the target
and send it to the receiver as soon as a message gets through again:

  netconsole: 45 messages dropped by rate limit

netconsole formats that record itself rather than calling printk(),
which would feed the console it is currently servicing. Nothing here has
a printk sequence number, so the extended header carries a zero.

The timestamp comes from local_clock(), the same clock printk stamps its
records with, but it is taken when the notice goes out rather than when
the message was logged. It can therefore read a few microseconds later
than the message it precedes.

The notice rides on the next message the bucket lets through, so a
target that goes quiet right after a burst of drops only reports them
once the host logs again, and a target with ratelimit_burst set to zero
never reports at all.
