I stole the printk_once() macro.

I always wanted to be able to print some error directly if there is a
buffer to dump, however we can't use error_report() where the code path
can be triggered by DDOS attack.  To avoid that, we can introduce a
print-once-like function for it.  Meanwhile, we also introduce the
corresponding helper for warn_report().

You're still using the reserved namespace.  I asked you to fix that on 
v1; it's disappointing when a later revision doesn't make changes 
requested by a reviewers, without also offering a counter-argument for 
why the request does not need to be considered.

I am sorry.  It's totally because I forgot that one!  (It rarely
happens since I note them down in most cases, but there must be
something that even interrupted the procedure when I took notes...)

I will repost with another one soon.  Sorry again.
