Subject: [PATCH] dm: fix printk() rate limiting code

Using the same rate limiting state for different kinds of messages
is wrong because this can cause a high frequency message to suppress
a report of a low frequency message. Hence use a unique rate limiting
state per message type.

Fixes: 71a16736a15e ("dm: use local printk ratelimit")
