The facility unavailable exception can be triggered from userspace by
accessing PMU registers when EBB is not enabled. This causes the
included pr_err() to run, hence spamming the kernel log buffer.
This avoids this by rate limiting these messages.

We can bike shed the hell out of this one. We could just remove it, or
we could put it under the control of show_unhandled_signals.
