This patch was messed up by your email client (tabs expanded to spaces).

pr_warn_ratelimited() contains static state. Using it in an inlined
function means that each callsite gets its own copy of that state, so
we're ratelimiting the vm_unmapped_area() output on a per-callsite
basis, not on a kernelwide basis.

Maybe that's what we want, maybe it's not. But I think
vm_unmapped_area() has become too large to be inlined anyway, so I
suggest making it a regular out-of-line function in mmap.c. I don't
believe that function needs to be exported to modules.
