There are some conceptual differences between these
implementations and other <foo>_ratelimited uses.

For every other subsystem but net, there is a per-location
struct ratelimit_state.

Here you've made the global net_ratelimit_state replace all
of these individual structs so there is some new interaction.

Dunno if that's good or bad.
