It was difficult to decipher the above paragraph.
I think you're referring to throttling logic in __might_resched().
I kept it as-is while applying, but in the future either skip
such low level implementation detail or expand it.
Here you could have said that the error is printed by __might_resched()
which prints it once a HZ.
