3.16.57-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Michael Weiser <[email protected]> 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.
