Herbert Xu b4a461e72b printk: Make linux/printk.h self-contained
As it stands if you include printk.h by itself it will fail to
compile because it requires definitions from ratelimit.h.  However,
simply including ratelimit.h from printk.h does not work due to
inclusion loops involving sched.h and kernel.h.

This patch solves this by moving bits from ratelimit.h into a new
header file which can then be included by printk.h without any
worries about header loops.

The build bot then revealed some intriguing failures arising out
of this patch.  On s390 there is an inclusion loop with asm/bug.h
and linux/kernel.h that triggers a compile failure, because kernel.h
will cause asm-generic/bug.h to be included before s390's own
asm/bug.h has finished processing.  This has been fixed by not
including kernel.h in arch/s390/include/asm/bug.h.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
