Allow to log but no more than a fixed number of times.
This to log for instance number of times client do something wrong
but without causing excessive log or DoS.
I didn't use atomic operation for decrementing the counter to reduce
possible contention on the system bus, this will just cause some
more messages to be printed.
The signed variable and the check assure that counter does not
underflow (unless machine has billions of processors and millions of
clients are connected).
