printk: introduce printk_once() 

This pattern shows up frequently in the kernel:

  static int once = 1;
  ...

		if (once) {
			once = 0;
			printk(KERN_ERR "message\n");
		}
  ...

So add a printk_once() helper macro that reduces this to a single line
of:

		printk_once(KERN_ERR "message\n");

It works analogously to WARN_ONCE() & friends. (We use a macro not
an inline because vararg expansion in inlines looks awkward and the
macro is simple enough.)
