  Currently if a process repeat repeatedly reads the dmi sysfs raw event log
/sys/firmware/dmi/entries/15-0/system_event_log/raw_event_log when GPNV
support is missing or using an unknown access method the kernel log gets
spammed with info messages. Make the messages rate limited to reduce the
message spamming. Triggered when running sudo stress-ng --sysfs -t 5m.
