Without getting into a philosophical discussion about the appropriate
log level for this message, the purpose of this patch is to move
ND_PRINTK(val > 1, ...) to net_dbg_ratelimited(), but for some reason
this hunk promotes an existing net_dbg_ratelimited() to
net_warn_ratelimited(). Why not keep it as net_dbg_ratelimited()?
