Even though the allocation stall message is triggered only once in 10s there might be many different tasks hitting it roughly around the same time. A big part of the output is show_mem() which can generate a lot of output even on a small machines. There is no reason to show the state of memory counter for each allocation stall, especially when multiple of them are reported in a short time period. Chances are that not much has changed since the last report. This patch simply rate limits show_mem called from warn_alloc to only dump something once per second. This should be enough to give us a clue why an allocation might be stalling while burst of warnings will not swamp log with too much data. While we are at it, extract all the show_mem related handling (filters) into a separate function warn_alloc_show_mem. This will make the code cleaner and as a bonus point we can distinguish which part of warn_alloc got throttled due to rate limiting as ___ratelimit dumps the caller.
