net: enetc: add ratelimiting to VF mailbox error messages
Sashiko reported that a buggy or malicious guest VM can flood the host
kernel log by repeatedly sending VF-to-PF messages at a high rate,
degrading host performance and hiding important system logs [1].
Fix by replacing dev_err()/dev_warn() with dev_err_ratelimited(),
limiting output to the default kernel ratelimit. This ensures errors are
still logged for debugging while preventing log flooding attacks.
