x86/bus_lock: Set rate limit for bus lock
A bus lock can be thousands of cycles slower than atomic operation within one cache line. It also disrupts performance on other cores. Malicious users can generate multiple bus locks to degrade the whole system performance. The current mitigation is to kill the offending process, but for certain scenarios it's desired to identify and throttle the offending application. Add a system wide rate limit for bus locks. When the system detects bus locks at a rate higher than N/sec (where N can be set by the kernel boot argument in the range [1..1000]) any task triggering a bus lock will be forced to sleep for at least 20ms until the overall system rate of bus locks drops below the threshold.
