4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Michael Weiser <michael.wei...@gmx.de>
commit 1962682d2b2fbe6cfa995a85c53c069fadda473e upstream.
Stop printing a (ratelimited) kernel message for each instance of an
unimplemented syscall being called. Userland making an unimplemented
syscall is not necessarily misbehaviour and to be expected with a
current userland running on an older kernel. Also, the current message
looks scary to users but does not actually indicate a real problem nor
help them narrow down the cause. Just rely on sys_ni_syscall() to return
-ENOSYS.
